What a great day of golfing fun! Forty-six ladies showed up on the foggy morning, but quickly shed their sweaters in the clear, unseasonably warm temperature.
The twelve teams scored very well on this day with a range from 65 to 75. The First Place team of Suzanne Tinsley, Donna Cobb, Jeanie Ward, and Phyllis Coulson really did well scoring seven birdies and all the rest pars.
Second place was a tie with a score of 67. The scorecard playoff was still tied with the 1st handicap hole, but the second handicap hole was birdied by Team Gray and parred by Team Pettitt. Second place team was Mary Jo Gray, Kathleen McCoy, Becky Hollier, and Pat Rice. Third place was Shirley Pettitt, Linda Heins, Jane Smith and Grace Ireland.
Three teams scored 69, so once again the scorecard playoff was the determining factor. And once again, it was Hole #10 that broke the tie. The Fourth Place team was Joyce Middleton, Judy Ferguson, Gayle Gansfuss, and Carolyn Phillips.
We had three Closest to the Pin winners: Hole #3: Jeanie Ward (12'11"); Hole #11: Donna Cobb (6'6"); and Hole #17: Paulette Lee (3'4"). Closest to the Line was won by Cathy Buckly, who I understand was right on the line.
Congratulations to all the winners. We're hoping you plan to play in the Jingle Bell Scramble on December 2, again at Palmetto Country Club, 10:00am shotgun start.
