OLGA is very proud of its traveling team. Nearly half way through the East Valley Team Play season, our Oakwood Team is leading in both gross and net competitions. Congratulations gals. We are all rooting for you to continue your impressive play and to bring home the trophy!

St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, OLGA’s 2015 charity event, was held on January 20 and chaired by Anne Annis. See article “St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance” in this Splash for the event summary. Big congratulations to Doris Swanson for her hole-in-one on Hole No. 6 of the Lakes and Judy Cody for her Eagle on Hole No. 8 of the Lakes; both during the charity event. Great golf gals!

Another big congratulation goes out to Sharon Bowditch and Joanne Knutson. They placed second in Flight 2 of this year’s AWGA-sponsored State Medallion tournament, which was held at Ocotillo Golf Resort in January.
