Welcome back, Lady Niners! It was great to see our fun group of women on Nov. 7, our first day of play. We enjoyed a great round of a step-aside golf scramble as we reconnected with returning golfers and shared our fun golf philosophy with new members. There were a lot of laughs, groans of “should have been,” and high fives as we made our way on the Cottonwood front nine. Our holiday luncheon was held on Dec. 12. Pictures will be shared next month.
On a sad note, we lost Betty Lu Buchanan and Pam Wagoner, two longtime Niners, to cancer this year. They will both be missed, and we send our condolences to their families.
The Cottonwood Lady Niners play a nine-hole shotgun every Thursday afternoon from November through the end of May. Games change every week and include variations of scrambles, team games, and individual play. Ladies of all ages and ability (including novice golfers) find this fun-loving group friendly and tolerant of all skill levels. Immediately following golf, members enjoy rehashing the day’s play in the club lounge or on the patio.
We welcome ladies from all phases of Sun Lakes to join. A number of seasonal luncheons and play dates with other ladies’ leagues in Sun Lakes are held throughout the season. An annual Member/Guest event is also held each year, with proceeds donated to a selected charity. Dues are currently $90 for the year, which includes your handicap service. Contact Niners President Minna Rasmussen at 615-440-9982 or [email protected] for details.
