“Let’s Play Golf.” The Sun Lakes Lady Niners began the 2024-25 golfing season on Nov. 5 at the Sun Lakes Country Club. The game of the day was Low Putts. Twenty members came out to kick off the new golfing season. President Linda Stimart welcomed two new members, Heather Kalin and Sarah Green, to the group. It was noted that a few returning snowbird members of the Lady Niners were also on the Tee Sheet for play today. The return of the snowbird members is always a highlight for the group. A Welcome Back Brunch will be held in January of 2025.
A few reminders are in order as league play begins:
1. You must be a member of the Arizona Golf Association (AGA) in order to play in the league. Annual member dues are $40.
2. The Lady Niners club dues will be $25 for the year, and the Game Day Fund will be $3 per game. The Game Day Fund is in addition to the green fees paid to the Sun Lakes Golf Club. The annual club dues of $25 and the $3 Game Day Fund won’t go into effect until Jan. 1, 2025.
The Sun Lakes Lady Niners is a fun group of ladies of all ages and golfing abilities, from beginners to more advanced levels of play. The Sun Lakes Lady Niners provide a very supportive and welcoming environment. A different game is played each week based on handicap to provide everyone a chance to win.
The Lady Niners golf at Sun Lakes Country Club on Tuesday mornings at 9 a.m. (10 a.m. during the colder months of December and January). League play runs November through April. The monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month after golf.
Golf provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a healthy activity and develop friendships. Come join us. Please contact Linda Stimart, president, at 815-298-8415 for more information.
