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…

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…
