The 2012 Edition of the Barbara Faye White Cup Team competition is now history. Fifty-six ladies participated in the two day event held at Olde Oaks on October 16 and 18. This event pits the ladies' associations from east of the Red River against the ladies' associations west of the river.
This year we had thirteen 2-lady teams for each side on both days. The 2-lady scramble format this year was handicapped for the first time since the event became the BFW Cup. After the first day, the West (green) team had won 8 1/2 matches while the East (blue) team won 4 1/2 points. It could have gone either way after Day 1.
Day 2 started with absolutely beautiful weather and very high spirits with both teams anxious to take home the trophy. After the day was done, the West team prevailed by winning a total of 18 of the 26 total points, regaining the trophy after losing the matches the previous two years.
West team ladies are members of East Ridge Country Club, Southern Trace Country Club, Northwood Hills Golf Club, and Querbes Park Golf Club. Players that weren't present for the West team picture are Joyce Middleton and Nancy Young.
East team ladies are members of Fox Run at Barksdale AFB, The Golf Club at StoneBridge, and Palmetto Country Club. Players that weren't present for the East team picture are Brenda Graves, Mary Jo Gray, Susan Harkins, Marianne Leslie, Teri McGuire, Connie Pharis, Billie Jean Reasor, Jane Smith, and Suzanne Tinsley.
Lillian Granger (STCC) was the Team Match Chairman this year and with the help of Kathy Davis and co-team captains from all clubs, made this a successful tournament, especially enlight of the fact that Lillian volunteered to take the job just a few months before the tournament when Donna Phillips moved out of town. Thanks for your hard work. And thanks to all the players for participating in your organization's competition.
