Thirty SWGA ladies are to be commended for showing up at Fox Run on July 12, even if it was pouring rain at their own homes. These ladies "hung in there" through rain showers on and off all day. The course was drenched and there were "lakes" of casual water across the fairways, but you persisted. You should be proud of yourselves. Hopefully, by Monday, when the Championship will begin, the course will have dried up a bunch and there may be some roll instead of splashes!
In spite of the wet conditions, there were some very good scores posted, with Lillian Granger leading the way with her fine 81, followed by three ladies with 84's: Mary Jo Gray, Carmen Leach, and Kathy Davis (STCC). Overall low net for the day went to Kathy Davis. Three ladies had only 29 putts: Lillian Granger, Jill Litton and Brenda Graves. Congratulations to all the winners....and that includes all 30 ladies!!!
Sorry I have no pictures from today's event. With the tee times, it was not conducive for picture-taking, but there will be lots of photos next week during the two-day championship. See the right column for a list of the playday winners.
