Mary Dyrseth The OLGA Member-Member event was postponed for a week due to inclement weather. Unfortunately, a number of players lost their partners due to travel plans, since it was rescheduled for the week of Thanksgiving. The event went on a week later, and the winners were as follows: Flight 1: Christa Pensworth and Carolyn…
Mary Dyrseth Remember when you were a kid and when you returned to school in the fall, you had to write a story about what you did over the summer. Well, for us golfing adults, the subject is what did you do during overseed. For me, it was a concert at the Phoenix Symphony Hall…
Mary Dyrseth Okay, golfers, here is a word to the wise. On an OLGA play date, I only played 12 holes before I had to leave for a doctor’s appointment. The next day I looked up my scorecard on GHIN, and I had been given four triples and two doubles on the holes I didn’t…
Mary Dyrseth OLGA’s Member/Guest event was held on March 19. The theme was “Sporty Golf Girls.” You were supposed to wear your favorite team jersey. Based on the pictures I saw of the entrants, I don’t think we have that many sports fans in OLGA. If I was able to go, I would have worn…
Mary Dyrseth Greetings, fellow golfers, from Cartagena, Columbia. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any emeralds. I’m off to see the sloths in Costa Rica today. Meanwhile, my son sent me a picture of a lynx he came across while cross-country skiing in the boundary waters of Northern Minnesota. For those of you who don’t know what…

At the luncheon, a few OLGA members who had been browbeat into submission by Mary Buhrt, agreed to attempt to sing Whitney Houston’s hit single “I Want to Dance with Somebody.” This became, for the lunch, “I Want to Golf with Somebody.” Well, it turns out that…
Mary Dyrseth I imagine you thought that with the Oakwood golf course closed for a month there wouldn’t be any OLGA golf news. Well, guess again. I have a lot to report, starting with a quote from last month’s article. If you didn’t read it, I mentioned that consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.…
Mary Dyrseth Did you know that consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds? Well, there are certainly no hobgoblins in my golf bag. How about yours? Well, let’s see which OLGA golfers have hobgoblins in their golf bags based on the number of times they were in the money in September. Based on partial September…
Mary Dyrseth The hot weather of summer is winding to an end, thankfully! A sea change is coming in the humidity and temperature. I can’t wait! In other interesting news, Linda Jones recently spent a tidy sum of money as Club Champion on an entire set of new clubs. Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, and Merry…
Mary Dyrseth Hello Gentle Readers! Sorry I missed the deadline to submit an OLGA article for last month’s Splash. I was busy driving across the loneliest highway in the USA—Highway 50 across the Nevada desert from Utah to California. Did you know Utah has the most UFO sightings in the country? I didn’t see any…
