Golf Club
Well, 2024 zipped by in a hurry. It was a season full of wonderful
memories and memorable golf shots. Let's review the last few
events of the year, and hope for an even better year of golf ahead.
On Oct. 7, Mary LaForte and Bill Nordberg won closest to the
pin honors at The Links course. On Oct. 21 and 22, the last Special
Tournament of the year was held. Thanks to Wealth Compass
Financial for generously sponsoring this great tourney! Kudos to
Beverly Taylor for her hole in one; and Alan De Carle, Betsy Crane,
Mike Layne, and Barbara Ott for their closest to the pin heroics.
And another big thank you to Judy and Peter Fry for managing our
Special Tournaments. Sadly, they are retiring from their duties, so
who of you would like to step up and take over for them next year?
Guys and Dolls concluded its series of tournaments on Sat., Nov.
2. Congrats for Cheri Johnson for being closest to the pin and Rick
Goodwin for his hole in one.
The Golf Club's General Meeting took place on Wed., Oct. 9,
with, of course, pizza and drinks being the incentive for their high
attendance. A major thanks to Bob Fisher for his tireless work as
Chair of Men's Golf. Bob's retirement makes way for Todd Albiston
to take over the reins. Thanks Todd, you're the man! Also, much
appreciation to Randy and Carla Royter for helping out with Golf
Genius for the guys' tournaments. The Hole in One Aces for the
months of July, August, and September were announced at the
meeting. It's quite a list of some of our most excellent golfers:
Marilyn Vettlesen, Mike Ross, Scott Taylor, Laura Yotter, Al
Goodman, Ted Mitchell, Rich Halkyard, Jim Gilliam, Tony Gillett,
Jim Resney, Mike Ball, Jim Shroyer, Matt Yotter, Sandy Geisser, Jim
LaGregs, Dan Matthews, Natalie Sentz, and , last but not least, Bill
Nordberg, who must have at least 30 or 40 aces by now. Way to go
everyone!
And finally, here's a shout out to the women who put on the
Halloween Spooktackular tournament on Wed., Oct. 30. The
women know how to have fun and devise a lot of clever activities for
their tourneys. The men might learn a thing or two from the ladies
about throwing joyful golf tournaments, just saying. Attached are
three photos documenting their rhapsodic day. Happy Holidays
everyone! Written by James Mulvey
