Lots of ladies originally signed up to play the SWGA Turkey Scramble at Palmetto CC since it was the last SWGA event that would ever be played there. However, the weather raised it’s ugly head and after all the cancellations, twenty-five brave ladies participated in the abbreviated 9-hole event on November 13.
Ladies were barely recognizable under the layers of clothing and hiding behind golf cart covers, but the spirits were high when everyone came in to enjoy a hot lunch after playing just nine holes of the scramble.
The scores were close in spite of the high winds and cold temperatures. There was just a 3-stroke difference between first and fifth places with two scorecard playoffs.
FIRST PLACE:
Cella/Butterfield/Gansfuss/McCoy
SECOND PLACE:
Hollier/Heins/Ireland
THIRD PLACE:
Wyche/Snyder/Magee/Almond
FOURTH PLACE:
Zey/Alexander/K. Lee/Engelcke
FIFTH PLACE:
Buckley/Ihle/Moore
Closest to the Pin: Grace Ireland
Longest Drive: Cathy Buckley
I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to Palmetto Ladies group and staff for all the years of wonderful events. You will be sorely missed!
