The Final Tuesday, AGM & Team Play Awards

Beautiful, sunny weather greeted our women's section for the last Tuesday. This heron was on #13 relaxing beside the pond, enjoying the warm weather and some fishing.

After dinner, President Linda ran her final AGM before passing the baton to Patty McDonald.

Joan delivered the prizes for her final Tuesday - thank you for two years of running the Tuesday league. So, ladies, how did you enjoy the "3-club game"? Better or worse than you thought it would be? And would you pick the same clubs another time? The BIG prize of the event was luckily (?) won by Ann Hall. Enjoy your year with Harry, Ann!!

Coming events

Team Play - Tuesday, Sept 15. This will be the final playoff. The team standings are close and anything can happen on Tuesday. Current standings can be seen at www.golfscoring.net.

AGM, Team Play Awards, and 3-club golf - Tuesday, Sept 22. The AGM and Team Play Awards  will start at 7:30 6:45 pm. If you don't golf in the afternoon/evening, come on out and join the fun. The game on the front 9 that day will be 3-club golf, meaning you choose which 3 clubs you are going to play with (and that includes your putter, if you want to use it.)

Closing Field Day - Sunday, Sept 27. The sign up sheet is posted in the lower hall. The format is the always fun "step-aside scramble". Prizes for the day and prizes for the year will be awarded following dinner.

 

*NEW EVENT*

Solheim Cup - Saturday, Oct 3 - Next weekend the US women will compete against the European women in the real Solheim Cup in Germany. We will have our own Dalewood version on Oct 3, with tee times starting around 11 am. We will have an East team and a West team, with the club being the dividing point. The format will be: front 9 - doubles better ball match; back 9 - 2 singles matches (all with handicaps). This will only work with groups of 4, (16, 20, 24, etc.) so sign up soon (first come, first served). Sept 27 will be the closing date for signing up. This will be a good opportunity to learn about match play, if you are not familiar with it. This is open to all women members of Dalewood GC. No cost - just bragging rights!!

Did you know that . . .

. . . you can figure out the trajectory your irons are supposed to have by stepping on the head and looking at the angle the shaft has? As you can see below, Sandi, in the foreground, is stepping on a sand wedge and Barb, behind, is using a 6 iron.

So when would this bit of trivia be useful? If you need to hit over or under a tree or bush, it would help to know how high or low the ball should start out.

Inspiration

If you are feeling down about your game sometime, watch this video. Amazing timing, wonderful position during impact with the ball, and incredible follow through. If this doesn't make you feel good about golf, nothing will!!
