Palmetto Country Club hosted the 2013 SSWGA Championship on July 16-17 for twenty-nine senior ladies who were all winners....simply by enduring the high temp and humidity for two days! The course was great and the hospitality even greater.
The first day Medalist award started with a tie between Teri McGuire (WGAS) and Debbie Magee (WGAS) with a score of 83. After a scorecard playoff, Debbie took the award. But that's okay, because Teri ended up duplicating the 83 score on the second day to take Championship Honors.
In addition to the Overall Champion and Medalist noted above, these are the other winners:
FIRST FLIGHT
1st Gross: Mary Jo (the fisherlady) Gray (WGAS) 84/89
1st Net: Paulette Lee (defending champion) (WGAS) 71/73
2nd Gross: Moise Allen (STCC) 91/86
2nd Net: Joyce Middleton (ERCC) 70/75
SECOND FLIGHT
1st Gross: Robbie Fisher (BWGA) 87/90
1st Net: Kathleen McCoy (BWGA) 76/67
2nd Gross: Mary Coker (STCC) 88/92
