Team Play Awards and AGM

Tuesday was our finale for league play - a net Stableford competition, where that one bad hole doesn't hurt so much. We also had an elimination draw for Harry. The winner was not there, so her name shall remain secret for a while. Prizes were handed out for Team Play and our general meeting took place with votes tabled to Sunday, so we have a quorum.

Most Valuable Players for 3rd and 4th Teams

Susan Ross-Foster - Birdie Babes, Diane Moffat - ToMorrow's Winners

Another HUGE pickle made an appearance with Ann's meal, but Janet's is pretty tiny by comparison. 

Can you tell which team won? Yay, Herons. But the Falcons aren't bitter!  All in good fun!

The first competition introducing our two permanent teams, Gages Creek Herons vs Dalewood Falcons was held Saturday, September 16th, under very sunny, hot, yes hot, skies!! In fact, there were discussions about changing Team Falcons' colour from black to white! We had 20 women, in 5 groups competing for the coveted Dalewood Solheim Cup. The matches were very close, but alas, Team Falcons Captain Diane Moffat had the task of presenting Team Blue Herons with the prize winnings. The final score was Herons 8, Falcons 7.

And, it is never too late to join. Check the bulletin board before closing for team members. If you wish to join for next year, see me.

Please note: Joining is the first step. The second step is to watch for the sign up for the tournament.
Until next year!

Sandi MacDonald

Checking the scores for Team Play: Diane, Ariane, Sharon, and Linda. It was good to see Art and Lynda Rennick out for 9 holes, as well. The results will be posted tomorrow. If you can't wait, check out the link on the right sidebar.

Solheim Cup - Saturday, Sept 16

It's not too late to sign up to play! The  Herons  need 2 more and the  Falcons  1 more to make a field of 20!

A little rain for about 2 holes dampened our golfers, but not our spirits during the 2017 version of the Devil's Tournament. The winners were as follows:

First Place: Janet and Ene

Second Place: Shirley and Tracey

Third Place: Sharon and Lynn

Fourth Place: Linda and Dale

In addition, we played Fantasy Golf Cards and Ene won $50 with a score of 65 and Linda MacDonald was second winning $30. We raised over $180 for the locker room. Barb is seen below buying her fantasy golf cards from 3/4 of our fundraising team: Joy, Diane, and Ene (missing in Scotland: Sandi).

Solheim Cup is coming on September 16, with tee times starting at noon.

The teams and sign up sheets are posted on our bulletin board. Place a check mark beside your name if you can play this year.

Gages Creek Herons: Team colour is BLUE - Captain Sandi MacDonald
Dalewood Falcons: Team colour is BLACK - Captain Diane Moffat

 Cost is $5.00 cash.

Coffee/tea/snacks/team building/trash talk at 11:00am! Check your name for that, too. You will be chitted for this separately.

Please note: Captains can change next year. As well, if you decide you would like to play, your name can be added. These teams will remain from year to year.

Congratulations to Yvonne Shannon who had her first Hole-in-One on # 11 on Thursday!!!!!

Garden discovery

This creature was found in the garden behind the 16th tee. She was scary enough to cause Barb and Patty to retire to the bar in fear. Thanks to Bria's research, it is a female Black and Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia), which is described as "enormous, with the bold black and yellow pattern adding to their intimidating appearance."

Now that's a PICKLE!!

Chef Jen knows that Sharon enjoys a pickle with her club sandwich. 

She definitely got one on Tuesday!! Lots to share...

Please remember to sign up for the Devil's Tournament (on Tuesday Sept 5) when you are out at the club this week. Tuesday, Aug 29 is Playoff #2 for Team Play.

As well, the sign up sheet is there for the Solheim Cup on Sept 16. More details to follow soon.
