Ironwood Lady Niners

Suevonne Negaard

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom: The Ironwood Lady Niners Board started “Zooming” with President Rachel last summer, and we will continue to Zoom through 2021, with President Judy at the controls. The first item of business was self-introductions and responsibilities for elected members.

President: Judy Thompson, and we look forward to her leadership. Welcome back, Judy.

Vice President: Shirley Moore is preparing for her 2022 presidency.

Secretary: Lynn Matassarn exhibited her attention to detail as she recorded the meeting minutes.

Treasurer: Rachel Enloe was quick to answer financial questions (correctly of course).

There have been many, but never enough, words of appreciation directed toward Rachel, as she has covered two league leadership positions. Be well soon, Rachel.

Judy, Shirley, Lynn, and Rachel are elected officers. Other leaders on the board are the appointed.

2020 Ringer Winners Rules and Guidelines

Deborah Poropat, Ringers Committee Chair, 708-642-3084

Deborah has shared comments about participation in the annual Ringers Tournament, along with documents showing the results of the 2020 tournament year. Fifty women signed up for the 2020 year, and 11 of those did not play at least two dates on either front or back nines, so they didn’t generate Ringers scores. A number of players won on both the front and back, so a total of 32 different players won. More than one-third of the 2020 season was lost due to the pandemic, so there were many blank playdates. Scores include all of 2020. You can also join Ringers if you start golfing and pay the $6 Ringer fee along with your membership fee. Your participation will begin the day this happens.

As I complete my first article for the Splash, I encourage you to share any ideas you have to make this a better place to share Lady Niners news.
