Locker Clean Out

Management has asked the women to clean out our lockers in the event that the lockers may be spray painted during some renovation work. There is no guarantee that the belongings inside will not be damaged. Please do this as soon as possible as the work may begin anytime.
Thank you!

An uncommon sight at Dalewood

We have seen a heron or two, some turkeys occasionally, lots of geese in the spring and a few ducks, but I am not sure this particular kind of bird has visited us before:

Thanks to Joan Hayward for sending me the picture of the young swan in the pond at #8.

A reminder to RSVP to Jeanne if you wish to come to the luncheon on Dec 9, by Dec 4.

Christmas Buffet - Dec 9

Dalewood GC and Chef Jen are presenting the annual Friday Christmas Buffets. After talking to several women, we have decided to get together on Friday, Dec 9 at 12 noon for our Christmas Luncheon.
Please let me know (by Dec 4) by email at jbeaith@sympatico.ca if you would like to reserve a spot. I will send you a return email confirming that you are coming.  (Please don't book with the club directly.) Christmas Sweaters (including UGLY ones) are always welcome.

Two trick shots

On this miserable fall day, you need to watch these two guys hit unbelievable trick shots with their drivers. It will make your day!  If I tried this, my driver would probably be upside down and backwards!!

(You will have to copy and paste the http address and put it in the url at the top of the page. A little work, but definitely worth it!)

Stay tuned for the Christmas Buffet coming Dec 9 - save the date.

Creed of the Amateur

The photo of this plaque was sent from Pinehurst by Janet Hull for us to appreciate:

Richard S. Tufts (1896-1980) was the grandson of James W Tufts, the founder of Pinehurst. He served as President of the USGA, Walker Cup Captain, and was a staunch believer in amateurism. As a protege of Donald Ross, he built 40 new holes at Pinehurst and revised many more. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame posthumously in 1992.

Fall colours

Some incredible colours were on full display near #14 tee and fairway, on Tuesday. 

What a great fall day for golf!

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!
