The Sun Lakes Lady Niners finished 2022 in very good spirits. Everyone is looking forward to 2023 and playing a lot more, and a lot better golf. On Jan. 10 at their monthly meeting, the new officers for 2023 were announced, as well as the Club Champion and Presidents Cup. After the meeting, there was a complimentary clinic with Dennis covering the short game, which is responsible for so many of our strokes.
The new officers for 2023 are President Wanda Chihak, Vice President Susan Geis, Treasurer Celeste Dorsey, and Secretary Arlene Fletcher. The new social and tournament chairs are Linda Stimart and Jan Sykes. The Overall Club Champion was Rose Gallagher.
