Barbara Faye White Cup (aka) SWGA Team Matches

Barbara Faye White Cup (aka) SWGA Team Matches is in the history book!!

This year, because of changes in Associate Club memberships changing demographically, our East and West Teams changed to Team Titleist (BWGA and STCC) and Team Pinnacle (WGAS, NLGA, ERLGA, and BLGA.

Forty seven ladies played during the two-day competition of 2-lady scramble, match play format on September 16 and 26.

Let's start with Day 2:  Team Titleist won the BFW Cup Championship!!! It was close...9.5 to 8.5!  Titleist team went into Day 2 with a 3 point lead, but Team Pinnacle came back strong on Day 2 and give a great effort.

Since the BFW Cup started in 2009, we've never had last minute cancellations, but this year we had two emergencies that couldn't be avoided.  A special thanks to Audrey Northcutt (BWGA) who played alone against her two competitors on Day 1 and to Karen Calvert (BWGA) who played as a single on Day 2 and also won her match.  Also, a huge thank you to Becky Farr who was an alternate for Team Pinnacle.  She got a call at 7:20am on Day 2 asking if she could play, and she was there and ready to go with time to spare!

Congratulations to all the players!  You are ALL winners!

And thanks to Daneita Adams, Team Matches Chairman, who had never even PLAYED in Team Matches before this year, for putting on a great tournament in spite of the many unusual challenges this year.

We are looking forward to next year's BFW Cup which will be held at the Golf Club at Stonebridge.

SSWGA Playday at Southern Trace

It's been just over 2 1/2 months since our last SSWGA event! Seems impossible, but we finally got to play at Southern Trace on September 24th. Yep, it was still hot as blazes but it was fun since the course was in such good shape (as usual).

Broadmoor ladies took all the overall honors with the Low Gross score of 89 by Nancy Young, Low Net by Cathy Buckley with 75, and Low Putts of just 29 by Daneita Adams. Good golfing ladies!

I didn't get an opportunity to take any pictures since we started our shotgun a little early, so all I have is the "Results" page.
(Blog will not allow me to insert a picture at this time.)

It's time to start signing up for the next SSWGA playday which is October 10th at Bomber Bayou. This is the one that you have to provide your name as it appears on your driver's license, your driver's license state and number, your date of birth, and the last four digits of your social security number. Once again, if you THINK you might play submit this info to your club rep ASAP. You won't be able to add your name to the list at the last minute.

For those of you playing in the Barbara Faye White Cup (aka) Team Matches, see you tomorrow at Huntington to see who this year's winners will be. Team Titleist is up by 3 points over Team Pinnacle, but there are nine more points to be won tomorrow!!!
