The heat is on and our courses are pretty quiet, except for the continuous work on the Palms nine. It is exciting to see the many improvements being made. We are all anxiously waiting the unveiling in September.

OLGA is pleased that Lisa Abernathy has chosen it as her golf organization of choice. It is wonderful to see our membership continue to grow. Welcome Lisa.

We have many OLGA-18 members continuing to enjoy the game of golf, even in the triple-digit temperatures! We’ve all learned that staying hydrated and finding shade, when possible, is the key.
