The Sun Lakes Lady Niners

Dottie Wodraska

The Sun Lakes Lady Niners began the 2024-25 golfing season on Nov. 5 at Sun Lakes Country Club and held the first league meeting on Nov. 12. Along with the usual agenda items of the business meeting, information was provided about what to do when balls hit one of the construction areas currently underway on the course, as well as the three options available when a ball goes directly into the water or out of bounds from a tee shot. President Linda Stimart reminded everyone of the need to play “ready golf” to comply with the two-hour play limit for nine holes. She also reviewed how the Arizona Golf Association (AGA) calculates handicaps if only nine holes are played. Members were reminded about upcoming tournament dates as well.
