The Sun Lakes Lady Niners had only three days of league play in January, the fourth being their Partner Scramble. In writing this article, I thought I would include some famous golf quotes for your entertainment.
The game for Jan. 7 was Low Putts. In Flight 1, Irene Anderson took first place with 13 and second place was Susan Geis with 15. In Flight 2, Joann Brown took first place with 16, second place was Jeanne Norton with 18, and third place was Ann Hegney with a 15. “The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can’t see him laughing.” ~ Phyllis Diller
The game for Jan. 14 was 1 2 3 Waltz. In first place was the foursome of Ann Hegney, Jackie Aagaard, Fran Kleinsteuber, and Sharon Fratiello with a total net of 45. Second place was Lavonne Mensink, Joann Brown, Liz Tollefsen, and Bunny Lunbery with a total net of 54. Third place was Rose Gallagher, Verla Matuschka, Donna Sullivan, and a blind spot with a total net of 54. “Golf is a game in which you yell “fore”… shoot six… and write down five.” ~ Paul Harvey
The game for Jan. 21 was Blind Holes. First place in Flight 1 was Rosie Raisanen with a 29, second place was Rose Gallagher with a 32, and third place was Susan Geis with a 34. In Flight 2, first place was Verla Matuschka with a 31, second place Liz Tollefsen with a 30, and the third-place winner was Liz Tollefsen with a 35. “I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone’s golf game. It is called an eraser.” ~ Arnold Palmer
The Partner Scramble was held on Jan. 28, and a good time was had by all, especially the winners. On the front 9, the first-place winners were Bunny and Al Lumberton, Joann Brown, and Peter Cobb. Second place was Jan Sykes, Ed Wenzel, and Janis and Gary Downing. Third place was Jackie and Denny Aagaard, Susan Geis, and Jane Townsend. Closest to the pin was Janet Drummond, and closest to the line was Susan Geis. “The older I get, the better I used to be.” ~ Lee Trevino
On the back 9, the first-place winners were the team of Rose Gallagher, Dottie Wodraska, Dan Kerberger, and Paul Cosglove. Second place was Roz and Garnett Pederson and Sharon and Joe Fratiello. Third place was Fran and Walt Kleinsteuber, Ann Hegney, and Dave Planting. Closest to the pin were Ann Hegney and Paul Cosglove, and closest to the line was Carole Kinderman. “If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.” ~ Thomas Mulligan
