The first putting event in July took place on Monday, July 15. Fortunately, there was a slight breeze which was a very welcome relief, and it helped Ann Villar get the low score of 35. She received her star on the following Monday. Ann also got the money hole—her lucky day. Laura Berkley and Marilyn Palatas each scored a 38 with Lydia O’Connor and Hazel Roper right behind them with a 39. Karen Taylor made her family proud with three hole-in-ones. Carol Jones, Marilyn Palatas, Carol Ryan, Ann Villar and Laura Berkley were able to get two hole-in-ones. LaVonne Ashwood, Wendy Bellamy, Sandra Gerlach, Gail Goede (our newest member), Diane Hoedel, Reba Johnson, Opal Larkin, Linda Lewis, Jean Matheson (who did her dance), Lydia O’Connor, Shauna Rand, Sandy Ripley and Linda Watkins all got a hole-in-one. So, in spite of the heat, a fun day was had by all—just as it should be.
Twenty-six glistening members golfed on the putting green on Monday, July 22. Hazel Roper got a score of 39 and Laurie Miller received a score of 38 to round-out the winners for Monday. Seven of them did the happy dance for getting a hole-in-one (Jean’s jig is trending): Wendy Bellamy, Sandra Gerlach, Ann Grover, Jean Matheson (our dance teacher), Kathie Roberts, Sheelagh Simpson and Linda Watkins. Linda got her hole-in-one on the money-hole, the best hole on which to get a hole-in-one.
