Discovery Bay Women's Golf Club

Hello all,

Well, today the weather cooperated for the first 11 holes. Then, it started to rain (hard). After a couple holes, the sun came out, the rain jackets came off and the umbrellas were put away.  After another hole it started to rain again (hard). Rain gear on, rain gear off, rinse and repeat. Very bazaar weather pattern.

Ten of us finished 18 holes and each won a sleeve of balls as our reward. Twelve decided to have lunch early and they won one ball each.

Hi Ladies-

Birdies

Rochelle Baxley, Kay Gschwend, Dana Wardstrom (2), Lisa Ferrante, Sherry Boyd, Cindy Aafedt (3), Terry Billingham, and Annette Krey (2).

Thanks to great participation, good weather, favorable course conditions, and help from the Pro Shop, it turned out to be a fun tournament.  Well, more fun for some than others, I guess.

See attached photos for all the nitty gritty and hope to see you all try our Fall Championship Tournament.  It’s Gross, but we have Net Flights, so everyone can sharpen competitive skills, and has the chance to be a winner!

Hi Ladies-

Below are the overall standings after yesterday’s play.  Congratulations to Sondi for a fabulous net 64!

Please let me know if you see errors – this was a quick look at just one set of cards and I did not check the addition.

Tee times will be out this afternoon.  The leaders will tee off at 8:15 am and the rest of the groups will follow more or less in order so you can get an idea of when you’ll be teeing off.

There will be 3 flights.  First Flight is a small one, handicaps 5-13.  The other two flights are 22-29 and 30-36.

Del said these scores were posted as T Scores yesterday, so your May 1 handicaps may have changed.  We are using the 4/15 handicaps for all three days of the Tournament.

See you tomorrow and good luck to all!

-Bonnie

We had a few ties yesterday.  There was a tie for closest to the pin, which I’ve never seen. The tie for low net was broken on the back nine, which was still a tie, so it had to be broken on the last six holes.   The low putts tie had to be broken on the back nine.   Crazy day!

Congrats to all the winners.

Cathy and Cindy

While we all gathered to play, Mother Nature decided to send down some more of that liquid gold.   So the regular play-day was cancelled since most of the ladies didn’t believe the weather would clear.   Eight positive thinkers went out at 9:30 and got in a round – three cheers for the hearty golfers!
