Discovery Bay Women's Golf Club

Hi Ladies-

It was one crazy morning!  Originally we had 19 signups, but dropouts started Wednesday when the weather started looking iffy, and this morning when rain was in play, the dropouts picked up to where we were not sure if we’d have the needed 12 for official play.  We ended up with 13 players.  Luckily the rain was  diminishing and other than very wet conditions, play was not bad at all.

Every hole was a Par 3, and the course played quickly.  We also had a putts day, and unfortunately, one group was unaware.  The confusion this morning got to me as we waited to see who and how many would show up, and I didn’t remind everyone.  Sorry!

Winners:

Hcps 0-24:  Low Net –  Winning $11.25 Jill Chase (45); Low Putts – Tied and winning $5.75 each Terry Billingham & Cathy Houston (32).

Hcps 25-36. Low Net – Winning $11.50 Hilary Frigillana (45); Low Putts – Winning 11.25 Tracy Lape (32).

Chip Ins @ $6.50 each:  Hilary Frigillana on Hole 6 and Tracy Lape on Hole 6.

Closest to the Pins @ $5 each:

Low Handicap –

• Hole 2 – Natalie Fogel 12’1”
• Hole 7 – Conchita Christensen 41’3”
• Hole 14 -Natalie Fogel 3’6”
• Hole 17 – Terry Billingham 18’1”

High Handicap

• Hole 17 – Tracy Lape 14’6”

Although we normally charge ladies who drop out last minute, the only ladies who should see a $3.50 charge on their account are the ones who played today.  Today’s rain made cancelling totally understandable.

The reason we charge last minute cancellations is because it’s so much work ahead of time.  We need to prepare the Closest to the Pins with handicap cutoffs, decide on how many to pay (generally between 1/3 – 1/4 of the field), determine the amount to pay, figure flights, etc.

Special thanks to Deborah for coming out to assist today.  She is nursing a sore arm and didn’t play.

Thanks,

Bonnie & Deborah

Please remember that next Tuesday is our play day.  It should be a fun event.  Be sure to sign up, but even if you are not playing, please come to the general meeting that day.

  Now for the results of today’s event.

We played Mutt and Jeff. This game requires each player to record net scores on the 5 longest holes and the 4 shortest holes. There were three flights.  First place winners will receive $13.50 credit.  Second place winners won $7 and third place paid $5.  Because of the different sizes of flights, first flight only paid out first place; second flight paid first and second place; and third flight paid out all three places.
