Winter has slipped away with quite a bit more cold weather, rain and wind than in previous years. We endured…. It will not be long before the members look back fondly on that cold weather. Many things have happened since the last SLLGA article: the Club Derby, the Guys and Dolls Tournament and the Club Championship, the most prestigious of them all. Congrats to Mary Liepold for winning the Derby. The winner of the Club Championship was Brenda Heyink. This is a two-week event and brings out the nerves, and the best golfers always rise to the top in all the flights. Cheryl Reed/Rob Jefferies won Guys and Dolls. Thanks, Rob.

A very, very heartfelt thank you to all of SLLGA, the fantastic people in the Pro Shop and the crazies at the bar and the citizens of Sun Lakes. Kim and I knew two people when we arrived here 13 years ago, and now I am leaving what feels like a family. The SLLGA is filled with loving, caring, fun-filled ladies. So many laughs over the years, and I want to thank everyone who lifted me up and made fun of me to keep me humble. 🙂 I will miss you more than you know. Hit ‘em long and straight. Cheryl Reed
