I apologize for only just today getting to last weeks results and getting the scores posted. Just have had a lot going on lately - mostly good. Last week I went to friends fathers funeral in Hickory NC and I want to thank Janis T. for pinch hitting for me at the last moment. Like I just told Pat - heck Janis can run play day with her eyes closed after running GWSGA!
Last weeks winners playing T-F's:
1st - Janis Turner 28.5
2nd - Arleen Carleo 29.5
3rd - Judy Furlong 29.5
and honorable mention - Linda Mitchell also with 29.5 and who shot a 97 overall last week. Linda - you and Dick stay in our prayers! Glad you get to come out with us and be normal - whatever that is!

Playday Results
Hey All,
Great day for golf - sure was a whole lot cooler than Valdosta as Janis and Brenda and I can attest! If you haven't heard a report on the GSWGA tournament this week - it was awesome. Janis Turner (the Pres!) did us proud as well Judy Furlong who spent most of the last few weeks working on the tournament. It was a great event and many of our Canongate Ladies brought home winnings! I urge you all to consider joining seniors next January. Gives you a good incentive to get that handicap down (must be 26 or less to join) and my new incentive is to play on the same course as the low cappers next year. In golf there is always incentive to do better - right? No matter what age!
I want everyone to know I had a good meeting with Justin (WhiteOak/Summergrove GM) this afternoon. First on my list was the lack of expertise (how diplomatic was that) we have experienced at Summergrove in recent weeks. Also, the fact we have other players crowded in the middle of us most weeks. When the "pro" knows what they're doing, they know how to start us with the tee times they've allowed and Justin assured me we will have a real pro at Summergrove going forward on our play days. When we get down to two courses I get it, we may be more crowded and we will deal with that. I trust also we will know before 8:15 if the course is CPO or not! I also addressed safety on the Seminole course in particular and the need for a ranger all the times - especially when school is out. I used to get off work and walk Seminole by myself in the afternoons. Even if I could walk I wouldn't do that if you paid me right now! I for one do not want any more surprises in the halfway house. Just ask me, Marilyn or Pat if you haven' heard that story! And I addressed the need for a fixed schedule for WOLGA and if course location has to change - we need to be informed. Last week I sent out the email saying Seminole which was according to the schedule I got from the pro shop then had an email from Susan G. who happened to see we were on the Summergrove schedule. Thus - the oooops message from me. Been funnier if had all just showed up over there.... Margaret joined me and we gave Justin input for the White Oak Ladies Championship and how we can garner more participation. He seems intent on getting more ladies into the mix so we'll see.
ALSO - I apologize if I haven't been clear about the scorecards when we play net best ball. Next time - I DO NOT need individual cards. I need one card with the game, complete names or initials when needed (not just Bev or Shirley or Mary- there are multiples of some of us but Ardy, Lanelle - there's only one of you!) and HCP. I also want a master with at least the gross scores on it - for verification. Write master on that card. Please always - every playday - put your name in the name field of your card - not just on the sticker. It just makes it easier for me, Diane or whoever else has to look at the cards post play. And even when it's best ball I do post the scores so the playday sheet needs to be completed. That is where I post from. There are no picks ups ever on playday until you max out for your handicap (7-teens, 8 - 20's, 9- 30's) in a best ball or 10 on any other playday. I will get scores posted tomorrow if at all possible.
TODAYS WINNERS:
1st - Sandi K, Holly, Trisha Nease and Charlotte - 61
2nd - Christine Campbell, Cheryl D and Ardy - 62
3rd - Lanelle, Lyn Cunningham and Janis T. - 63
and for glory.... Carol Head, Linda Mitchell and Carol Mc - also with 63
Next week we are on Seminole playing T's and F's. See ya then! mm

Senior Men Scramble results
Hey Gang,
I sure hope everyone had a good time yesterday. It was an awesome day to be out there. Playing with the guys is so much fun but the task of the "coordinators" is a big job. Dave Furlong and I worked as hard as we could to make the teams equitable but when you have people who sign in and don't show up and those who show up and don't sign in (the men - not talking about us!) it gets more than a little crazy. Then to have one show up at the carts that hadn't even checked in at all. Really not cool. But oh well, it is suppose to be about having a fun day and maybe giving back a little to charity. I had one complaint come back to me but just as I have said before - if you want my job - you can have it. Most of what I heard was laughter and I saw a lot of smiles in clubhouse and I will not let one negative comment spoil my high. I think the vast majority of people had a great day. I guess it is all about your perspective on why you're there. Like a good friend of mine said the other day - we lead a charmed life - and if you don't that, I guess you just don't get it.
Congrats to our winners.....

Thanks to all who contributed from their winnings back to Angel's House. I thought that was awesome. And if you didn't hear what I was crying about I'll summarize and elaborate. On Oct 28th, 2001 I saw Alan Jackson sing at the Newnan High School football field. It was a fund raiser for Angel's House (Coweta shelter for abused women and children) which was just getting started. A venue like that - only about 8000 people. I danced at the foot of the stage all night! He sang a song that night for his mama and dedicated to his father who had recently passed away. The name of it was " The Other Side of Life". Little did I know that the next night I would l lose my husband to a heart attack. When I went to McKoon's to plan Mickey's funeral I told the guy - I want the song Alan Jackson sang at the concert. Some of Alan's family works at McKoon's and I knew they had an inside track. They called Alan and he told them he'd never recorded the song but told us who had recorded it (Vern Gosdin for any of you real country music lovers) and I was able to get the song for his funeral. In Mo's obituary I requested donations be made to Angel's House. I forget how much money he raised for them - well over $1000 in donations. Later from some friends I had received cash and Alan Jackson donated one of his Corvette's to be raffled off for Angel's House. I bought $100+ worth of tickets just knowing I would win that 'Vette! Didn't win but I didn't get interviewed by KICKS that night on the square. ;o)
Our ladies group is awesome and I love and care for each one of you! Remember, every shot (in life or in golf) must have a purpose.
Life is good. mm
