IT'S SSWGA CHAMPIONSHIP TIME AGAIN!!!!
And the playday/practice round was held at Palmetto on July 11th. Although we had to play amidst light and and heavy rain, it was a fun day, with the rain keeping us "cool". The course was in great shape and there were some very good scores posted. Twenty-nine ladies endured the weather and enjoyed the day. This playday was also in preparation for the SSWGA Championship to be held at Palmetto on July 16-17.
The low gross of the day was an 81 by Mary Jo Gray (WGAS), followed by a close pair of 83's by Carmen Leach (FRLGA) and Joyce Middleton (ERCC). Joyce and Mary Jo both had 66's for the low net of the day. The greens rolled really fast and true, but that was a plus for Mary Coker (STCC) who took low putts with a 28, followed by Marge Snyder (NHGC) with 29. And there were an unusual amount of chip/putt-ins with a total of seven.
