SWGA Playday at Huntington Park (BWGA)

Wow!  Hot was the word of the day for the twenty-eight ladies who came out to play the SSWGA Playday at Huntington Park.  I'm sure that for those of you who haven't played the course since it was re-done, it was a big surprise.  It's waaaay shorter than it used to be.  And the greens are very very receptive.

Mary Lynn Stuart (ERCC) must have really liked it, as she shot a super 75!!!  The next closest gross score was 83 by Cathy Buckley (BWGA).  The low net for the day was 65 by Hui Bordelon (FRLGA) followed by a 66 by Jane Smith (WGAS).  Putts ranged from 30 to 39.  There was a tie for low putts of 30 between Suzanne Patton (NHGC) and Jane Smith (WGAS).  Congratulations ladies!!!
