Out and About
Our par sponsor, Bantique Chiropractic, is organizing a charity golf tournament for the  Holy Cross Academy and Holy Cross Church of West Sacramento, California.  On August 21st, they are hosting their 1st Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Wild Horse Golf Club in Davis, CA.  They are not only looking for more players, but for any level of sponsorship.  The proceeds from the tournament will partly go towards the repair, re-striping of their parking lot and bringing it up to code.  For more information or to register, you can call Carmelo Bantique at (916) 832-6385, email him at drmelob@yahoo.com, go to the Facebook event, or click HERE for the registration form.

FAST TRACKERS -  March 23 and ending July 20, 2015 ~ A Celebration to Remember

On Monday, July 20, 2015 there were 17 members and guests who enjoyed the Fast Tracker 9-Hole Scramble at Woodcreek Golf Club.  This tournament was the final "lesson" of the 10-lesson series for the 16 Fast Tracker participants.  Some of the volunteer mentors were on board to lead the teams and help them with course management.  A special thanks to those mentors who played - Karen Garcia, Krysta Wylder, Tammy Pinnick, and Mary Lou Azevedo.

 

The competition was fierce, as five teams fought for the first place prize of a 9-Hole round of golf at Woodcreek.  


 
Congratulations to the first place winners who won in a card-off:

 

Karen Garcia, Team leader

Nancy Lyon, Fast Tracker Alumni 

Carol Adams, Member

 

 

Nancy, Carol & Karen 

 

There were also closest to pin contests won by Ursula Whitefield, Cindy Hennessey and Carol Little.  They each received a goodie bag of golf accessories and tools.

 

After playing, everyone gathered at the 19th hole for food and festivities. Fast Track Leader Clare Payne presented each of the nine Fast Trackers in attendance with a certificate in celebration of their graduation. Of course there was yummy cake for all - what a way to end the day!

 

Congratulations Fast Trackers!  A special thank you to Clare and all of the season's mentors for your time, expertise and dedication!
