Thankfully, finally we put “aside” the “step aside scramble” and got to play real golf! We played the newly-renovated Sonoran course on December 12. The fairways were in fantastic shape, and the greens were fast! It was the first qualifying event for the State Medallion. Flight winners were Flight 1: 1st Cora Levensky and MJ Coking, 2nd Linda Liberti, 3rd Denise Fleshner; Flight 2: 1st Barbara Stewart, 2nd Phyllis Madison and Judy Hedding, 3rd Sheila Bossio, Colleen Duke and Reggie Wegman; Flight 3: 1st new member Karen Gonzales and Suzan Miller, 2nd Annette Carrington, 3rd Ann Rounthwaite

The December 19 date was a “low gross” game. Winners were Flight 1: 1st Cora Levensky, 2nd Pat Stead, 3rd Shirley Malick; Flight 2: 1st Julie Collier, 2nd Margaret Johns, 3rd Susan Meer and Lola Bernadelli; Flight 3: 1st Karen Gonzales, 2nd Rachel Enloe, 3rd Maureen Krol

Welcome new member Nan Campbell – Glad to have you join OLNGA!

Boxing Day (December 26) saw a few hardy souls head out to the links on the Palms course. The game of the day was “odd holes,” and all the scores were close enough that everyone who participated received a $5.00 chit. Scores were: Shirley Malick and Pat Stead 20, Judy Hedding and Helen Semple 21, Denise Lott and Phyllis Madison 22, Linda Liberti and Rachel Enloe 22.5, Mary Evans and Susan Meer 26, Joanne Dunn and Dottie Mead 27 and Sharon Gale 29. Well done, Ladies!

We are looking for new members. You don’t have to be an IronOaks resident to be a member of OLNGA. We are open to all interested – just have a desire to play fun golf, meet some really nice people and have a good time. If you have any questions, call Bonnie Tasch at 303 868 7360.
