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?

Mary Dyrseth OLGA finished the year 2023 with Dang Teater winning both the Club Championship in February and the OLGA Cup (a low net competition) in December. Congratulations, Dang! Perhaps we should all take notice of the fact that she is never seen on the driving range but spends most of her practice time on…
