Virtual Birdies???

4 Virtual Birdies and 1 Real Live Birdie!
You Guess which one.

October 20- Low Gross/Low Net

We had 21 ladies play Low Gross/Low Net today on Old Course. The weather was warm and wonderful, and a good time was had by all!  We were glad to see Janis and Bob are back in town and Janis thanked the group for all their kind words and prayers throughout the last 3 weeks.  Bob even had breakfast with his buddies at the club.  
Results:
1st place Low Gross-Beth Shepard-82          Low Net-Lisa Yoon-65
2nd place Low Gross-Salme Svensson-87    Low Net-Susan Gillespie-67
                                                                       Arleen Carleo also had 67 but
                                                                       Susan won in regression

Hesper Hall won the big carry over Chip In money with the only chip in this week.    

Birdies-Beth Shepard and Sarah Connors

Judy Warner won the 50/50 this week.

SuOk Swafford won a birdie towel from last week's birdie...Congrats!

Let's all say an extra prayer for Hesper, Arleen, and Brenda as they will undergo surgeries in the next few weeks.  We will keep you updated on their recoveries.  

***REMEMBER WE DO NOT HAVE WOLGA NEXT WEEK BUT WILL WRAP UP OUR SEASON ON NOVEMBER 3 WITH SOME FUN ACTIVITIES AND OF COURSE GOLF!!! 

October 13 Results and GSWGA Fall Tournament

Twenty-two ladies played on Seminole today.  Even with the chilly 
9 AM start, it turned out to be a magnificent day.  The game was Odd/Even...pick the best 9 and use half your handicap.
Winners:
1st-Jade Kim- 33.5
2nd-Lanelle Heminger-33.5 (Jade won 1st by regression)
3rd-Susan Gillespie-34

SuOk Swafford had the only birdie today and there were no chip ins, which leaves a big pot for next week!

Diane Tschantz won the 50/50.
Next week is our second to last play day and it will be Low Gross/Low Net (guest day).  Remember we will NOT be having a play day the last Thursday of October but instead we will play on November 3rd at White Oak.  (There is a private function at the club on October 27.)
