Dalewood Women’s Section September Newsletter

Wow! Where did the summer go? July and August came and went, as Dalewood made great strides to allow us to use more of the facilities safely.

On Tuesday, we will have the Devil’s Tournament. It is important that you arrive before 12 noon to be part of the partner draw. There will also be a wine tasting at 11:30am.

September will be a busy month for the women’s section. On September 11, Sandi MacDonald-Wangen will be convening the Solheim Cup. She has already put up the sign-up sheet down in the corridor by the women’s locker room. This is always a fun event, and hopefully your name is already on the sheet. If you missed the sign-up, please contact Sandi at sandi.macw@gmail.com.

On Tuesday, September 28, at 6:00pm, we will have the Annual Fall Meeting, the first one in two years thanks to covid-19 restrictions. We are looking forward to getting your input on several key items for the 2022 season. There will be an online sign-up sheet and the agenda will be emailed to you on September 21. If you have a key topic you would like to raise at the meeting, please send us an email note in advance. Thanks.

This year, our Closing Field Day will be held on Saturday, October 2. Sign-up will be done online. Presentation of awards for the season will also take place at this time.

Now is the time to decide which member should be awarded the Nan Sharpe ‘Play Happy’ Award. The award was created in 2018 in honour of Nan Sharpe. Nan loved to have fun and encouraged others to enjoy the game of golf, no matter what. You will receive a survey shortly, asking you to choose a fellow golfer, regardless of how her game is going, smiles and remains pleasant, inspires, and supports both on the course and around the club house. Previous winners have been Sharon Klan (2018), Jane Gibbens (2019) and Dale Hodge (2020). They are not eligible to win again. The winner will be announced at the Fall Closing Field Day.

As we move into September, hopefully temperatures will become more comfortable, and the golf game even more enjoyable!
