“OLD” FRIENDS: LIMING, MAAS, WACO, PAZITNEY
January 14, the Cross Creek’s Women’s 18 Golf League eased into the new year with a forgiving game of Odd Holes – a player’s game was only half as bad (or good) because only the odd holes were scored! It was a fun game to welcome back members and to socialize new members, and it was very successful doing both. Old friends were greeted with hugs and new friends were made just by having fun together. Cross Creek’s Women’s 18 League welcomes new members: Kathleen Chauvin, Mary Eannace, Vadonna Motley, Trish Doring, Rictoria Reiger, Carol Townsend, Julie Gronlund, and Louise Frehill. Mary Lou Horan was missed by all and a card full of love and wishes for a speedy recovery was signed by many.
At the first get-together, there was a short business meeting following the luncheon. Arlene McClintock presided and welcomed new members. Minutes from prior meeting were shared by Amy Liming, secretary, and approved. Membership is over 40 this year! Bobby Pollesch, treasurer, provided the financial report and it was good news. Lesa Foss awarded Birdie pins to all players who scored Birdies, so far this season: Horstman (6), Millward (3), Danek (2), and Marti, Hughes, Jansma, Patzitney (1). Members are reminded to enter scores into GHIN for legitimate games played outside the league. Also, scores from league play must be entered in the clubhouse computer, not a mobile app.
New business was the upcoming Member-Guest event February 4. Hopefully, you’ve registered for the event by the time of this reading! Besides the fun of play with friends, there are prizes and raffles to win! Then, league championship starts February 25 and is best two of three games. Last year began with 36 players and ended with 30. It is flighted and handicapped and to play, you must play in at least three events. Hope to see you in the sunshine for all upcoming events!
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to keep the league running. Board positions President, Vice-President and Publicity are open. At a minimum, a President and Vice-President is required to keep the league going. Is it your turn? Contact any current board member for information.
