Solheim 2016

A Solheim report from convenor Sandi MacDonald:

After a rain postponement, the Second Annual Solheim took place on Tuesday, Sept.27th. We had 18 golfers competing for their respective teams. The West team was in the lead over the East 6 to 5 before the last group came in. We were greeted by a member of the East team saying, " I broke 100 for the first time!" Congrats Lynn Attley, and yes, you guessed it - the East team won the toonies! Final tally was East 7.5 to West 6.5.

A victorious effort by members of the East: Anne Parks, Janet Hull, Gail Richards, Donna Todd, Nancy Sharpe, Patty McDonald, Tracey Bodashefsky, Sharon Klan and Lynn Attley.

A valiant effort by members of the West: Annabel Thorpe, Sandi MacDonald, Linda MacDonald (best game this year at Dalewood), Joan Hayward, Mary Lou Secord, Ariane Macdonald, Laura McCracken-Ebbrell, Diane Moffat, Barb Pemberton.

This tournament is strictly for a little year end fun, and a toonie....not a tournament score. However, making the teams even has meant switching boundary lines and therefore team wardrobe choices! With that in mind, we will have a sign up in the spring, teams will be set so all will be ready to go at year end, hopefully on a sunny Saturday! The plan is teams and team name will remain the same from year to year. Players may be added or subtracted, but the core group will remain the same. 

 Solheim participants enjoying some post game camaraderie!

Diane Moffat and Sharon Klan enjoying some Dalewood apples!

We congratulate all the trophy winners for the season long competitions. 

Thanks to Lynn for the pictures.

Achievement Board, Trophy Winners, and Closing Day Results

Another beautiful day on the golf course, followed by appetizers and a terrific roast turkey dinner, prepared by Chef Jen. Tracey and Ann presented all the year end trophies and certificates followed by the Closing Day prizes. Patty thanked the convenors of the day, the greens, pro shop, and kitchen staffs for a great day.

Laura and Harry

Laura Roberge is the only woman to have been on all three winning teams since the beginning of Team Play, so we thought it only appropriate that she should receive the coveted "Harry" to keep for a year. It appears that she is really pleased with him and I'm sure Harry has found a happy home!

Team Play Awards

Team Play Awards Night was Tuesday, Sept 20. We had 49 players sign up to play this year and we averaged 41.5 women playing on Team Play Tuesdays. 46 women played at least 6 out of 9 times - remarkable!

MVP for Deanne's Divas was Barb Pemberton, who played 8 games and counted all 8 times for 100% proficiency - that's consistent! MVP for Sharon's Klan was Ariane Macdonald who played all 9 rounds and counted 8 times for 89% proficiency - well done!

There were no clear MVP's for the first and second place teams - all players contributed pretty equally throughout the season with no real standouts.

Holes-in-one

It seems #8 is the popular hole to get a hole-in-one. Laura Roberge had one there on July 17. I missed posting it here, and no picture was available, but congratulations, Laura! She's having a great season!!

I was fortunate enough to have one there today as well. Drinks on Tuesday!
