Monday is the last day to sign up for the Christmas dinner on Friday, Dec 28. We have 28 members and 55 total coming so far. See you there!

If you forgot to bring socks for Sandi's collection (Jordans's Socks) at Closing Field Day, or would like to donate a second time, she will gladly take any donations. Remember all socks donated here stay in Northumberland.

 For those who might not know The Little Treasure Shop is located just inside the front entrance to the hospital and managed by our very own Dale Hodge. Barb Pemberton also volunteers there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't forget the Christmas dinner at 6 pm on Dec 2. We have over 50 coming, including some Monday golfers, friends and former members.

Putting line

How many times do your curving putts end up on the low side of the hole, even when you have the speed correct. Like most amateurs, it will be about 85% of the time. It's because we generally don't play enough break.

Watch this 5 minute video below to help you understand why putting at the apex (or highest point of the curve) is not high enough. The visuals he sets up are really helpful.

The sky on Tuesday afternoon!!

Say goodbye to our stunning autumn colours for this year!

Don't forget to sign up on Lynn's Google doc for Christmas dinner on Dec 2.

Friends and family are welcome - invite some Monday league golfers.

CHRISTMAS DINNER

Last year we chose to have a Christmas dinner instead of the luncheon and it was the best attended ever. So, having spoken to a few members and to Jen, we are going to have a dinner again. As long as we have at least 30 people, we can have the lunch buffet menu for the same cost, $22.95 ++. (It includes ham, turkey and fixings, salads, soup, pasta, veggies, potatoes and dessert. Great meal, great deal.)

Unless, I hear from several that this won't work for you, I have booked 6 pm on Friday, Dec 2 for our annual Christmas dinner. Invite friends and family to join us. (Include some Monday league golfers, perhaps)

Lynn will set up the google doc sign up sheet, so watch for an email from her next week.

Sincere condolences to Ariane Macdonald on the passing of her father recently.

Dalewood's own Anna Crowley recently won the Kawartha Girls' High School Championship in her first year of competition. Unfortunately, Anna was ill on the day COSSA Golf was played. Next year, OFSAA!

THE NAN SHARPE AWARD:

2022 RECIPIENT: PATTI McDONALD

WE COLLECTED OVER 115 PAIRS OF SOCKS FOR THE NEEDY IN THE AREA.

WELL DONE, LADIES!

AND THAT'S A WRAP FOR OUR WOMEN'S SECTION GOLF FOR ANOTHER YEAR! 

MANY THANKS TO SANDY YOUNG, DALE HODGE AND THE REST OF THE CONVENORS AND COMMITTEE FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DAY AND TO THE SEASON!

Bridget sent this picture and comment from Tuesday: "I thought this would be a good representation of the spirit in the DWS - rain combined with sunshine." 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sandi MacDonald's friend's granddaughter, Jordan, is collecting socks again this year for the needy. She is doing two collections, Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you wish, bring a pair or two of new socks for the collection to our closing on Sunday. Everything donated here stays in the area.

Sandi sent this picture a couple of weeks ago of President Su helping a little turtle find its way to the pond on #12. That's the second turtle found there by our members - a nest must have been on #12 somewhere.
