Ye Ol Golf Bags Annual Event

Although I haven't played much this year, there is a group of us gals who play golf together every Tuesday during the golf season... and play Farkel (the dice game) during the winter months. Each year, we try to get together with our husbands and have a group golf event and a potluck dinner afterwards. Today was the day for the outing and, even though I haven't participated much, they still invited us to the event.

We matched up as foursomes (two couples per) and played a scramble. I played in the only all women's group. We thought we played quite well with a gross 74... but it, apparently, it couldn't compete with the groups with all men. The winning score was a 67.

The top picture is of my foursome. From left to right: Janet DeChand, Carol Wood, Carol Williams, and Sherry Perleberg. We had a fun time together.

Because of his Parkinson's, my husband doesn't really play golf anymore. Sherry's husband doesnt play golf at all, and Janet and Carol are widowed. All the other gals played with their husbands.

Here are some more pictures at the potluck dinner, held at the home of MaryLou & Carl Lattimer. Remember, you can click on any of the images to enlarge them.

The Final Results for AVWGA

The final results for the 2006 Apple Valley Women's Golf Association team play are in. This, as you may recall, is regional competition between 8 different clubs from April through October. Points are accumulated from month to month, with the final results revealed after the last event in October.

This last event was held at the Wenatchee Golf & Country Club and we (our Three Lakes Team) played against the Ellensburg Golf & CC .

This picture is of our foursome today. On the left is my playing partner (and good friend) Kris Bates. Next to her is Hayley and to her right is Debbie... both from the Ellensburg Golf Club.

As a complete surprise to us, our team did come away with the most net points trophy. For this we received the trophy and a monetary prize to donate to the golf charity of our choice. We do this is lieu of a bunch of individual trophies. The money is generally donated to the various local junior golf programs.

The other winners this season were the Wenatchee Golf & Country club who took the Overall points trophy. Apple Tree took the Gross points trophy. Other teams that participated are: Chelan Golf Club, Leavenworth Golf Club, Lakeview Golf Club (Soap Lake), the Yakima Elks.

This was the first time I had played golf since the rain-out in Ellensburg last month. Considering this, I didn't play too bad. On this long, difficult, country club course I scored a 93 which was respectable 77 net for me.

As the Executive Secretary for the group, my next task will be to organize the winter meeting with the various team captains to start planning for next year. This will, hopefully, be in early November.
