The Sun Lakes Lady Niners love playing golf. Even the chillier temperatures of January didn’t deter the ladies from taking to the links. The Lady Niners golf at Sun Lakes Country Club on Tuesday mornings, usually at 9 a.m., but tee off times change to 10 a.m. during the colder months of December and January. 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. A different game is played each week based on handicap to provide everyone a chance to win.
The monthly meeting was held on Feb. 11 after golfing. Vice President Susan Geis distributed the Club Champions awards for 2024. They are as follows: Overall Club Champion for 2024 is Rose Gallagher. Individual Flight Champions are as follows: Flight 1: Rosie Raisanen, Flight 2: Linda Stimart, Flight 3: Cheryl Kern. The Presidents Cup winners are as follows: 1st place Lavonne Mensink, 2nd place Janice Cosgrove, 3rd place Kathy Mlynarczyk/Eileen Ness/Jan Cartier. The Most Improved Lady Niner Award winner was Cheryl Flood. Congratulations to all the winners.
The Sun Lakes Lady Niners hosted a tournament with the SunBird Lady Niners on Feb. 25. The Oakwood Lady Niners have invited the Sun Lakes Lady Niners to send seven golfers and two alternates to play in a tournament on Tuesday, March 11.
