60 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2021
Ladies Putters Group
Ladies putting group is back at The
Courts. Come and join us on Mondays at 4
pm and Fridays at 9 am.
You can play once a week or twice a week
with your own putter or borrow one there.
You can practice your skills anytime with a
booking at The Lodge.
Phyllis Kates is our Groundskeeper. She's
responsible for designing the course layouts
for each session including where we putt
from on each hole and is also responsible
for setting up and taking down the course
on our putting days. Setting up the course
consists of placing the numbered flags in
their respective holes and then placing the
tee markers showing where we putt from. To
make the 9-hole course challenging, some
holes are as short as six feet while other holes
may be 15 feet or longer with left to right or
right to left breaks. Although it's artificial
turf, it does take a while to learn the nuances
of our putting green.
After we have finished with our nine
holes, we have a fun contest we call "Closest
to the rim without going in." Whoever
scored a hole-in-one picks the hole to putt to
and we measure 35 feet from that hole. We
each then have one shot to get it "closest to
the rim without going in." If you drain your
shot you're out of that day's contest.
