The Tennis Club held its annual golf event (yes, multi-talented athletes!) on August 14th. Chairpersons Kathleen Holt and Bong Chang put together a great day for participants in both 9 and 18-hole categories.
FUN, FUN FUN!!! That is what we had at the Two Person Mixed Couples Scramble Event. 40 players participated and there were 50 dinner guests! What a delight! Great Tri Tip, Vegetarian Italian sausage, green salad and Potato salad—-the only thing missing was a high calorie dessert! There were many new faces and lots of new friendships created. Golfers hit from places they never had done before!!
There was a prize for EVERYONE…but, of course, we had to have some actual GOLF winners. Other than the gag prizes of HIGHEST GROSS AND HIGHEST NET, the serious awards went to the following.
· LOWEST GROSS for 18 holes went to a NEW golf twosome who had never played together before—-but, they might now after their winnings: Roy Pennington and Camille Giulidibari: CONGRATULATIONS!
· LOWEST NET for 18 holes went to another NEW golf twosome AND….oh,oh…will we lose him as a tennis pro?? Brett Foreman and Donna Quartero: CONGRATULATIONS!
· LOWEST GROSS for 9 holes was our co-chair and his new golf partner: Bong Chang and Gisele Barber: CONGRATULATIONS!
· LOWEST NET for 9 holes —-yes, you guessed it…another new golf twosome: Don Kludt and Valerie Dimmick: CONGRATULATIONS!
· 2ND PLACE LOW GROSS for 9 holes: Bill Johnston and his new golf partner, Alyce Gennai
· 2nd PLACE LOW NET for 9 holes: FINALLY, a couple who have played together before: Martin and Anka Hoek
There were many door prizes — enough that no one left without winning something — from golf balls to tennis balls to gift cards for the Bistro or pro shop, to wine and a lot of scratchers!!
A special thanks to Adrien Fournier for providing the beautiful music which made the party pretty lively. AND…Thanks to all who participated! We hope you made lifelong friends and come out to play tennis AND golf together.
