Maderas Midweek and Turkey Ball Results

Maderas Midweek Event

What a fun day it was for our group of 30 to return to Maderas for a second time this year!

The course was in great shape as two flights competed in a fun game - N.E.T - score all the holes starting with those letters and any pops on those holes.

The greens were SO wicked, fast, and undulating - 3 putts were common, and 4 putts were not unheard of. The wind picked up a bit in the afternoon. After posting our scores, we learned that there was a Playing Conditions Calculation of +2, meaning significantly fewer players than anticipated attained their expected score. Consequently, conditions are determined to be harder than normal.

We had two flights. The 1st Place winners received $20 Golfmart Gift Cards and 2nd Place winners received $10 Golfmart Gift Cards

Flight 1

1st place - Soo Lee in a card off with +1, net 40

2nd place - Michelle Natalier with a +1, net 40 in a card off with Susan Crawford

Flight 2

1st place - Chris Shorkey with a +2, net 41

2nd place - Marie Horn with a +3, net 42 in a card off with Judy Hagar Schons

The Turkey Ball

We had a huge turnout on what turned out to be a summer day at Steele Canyon. The course was in fabulous condition. Anyone who had played Maderas should have been warmed up for speedy greens! Wonder if those speedy greens had anything to do with the PCC of +2, just like Maderas???

The Game of the Day was T's and F's, Thankful for Friends. All holes beginning with the letters T and F were counted, and pops were applied where given.

And the winners are....!

We had three flights. The 1st Place winner received a $20 Golfmart Gift Card. The 2nd Place winner and CTTPs received a choice of a $10 Golfmart Gift Card.

Congrats to Suzanne Rogers and Marie Shannon for actually putting the ball in this basket (that's what a cornucopia is - :-)

What a generous group! We were able to donate 328 lbs to the Food Bank

OH! That poundage does NOT include Lisa Schmidty..... we are keeping her!

THANK YOU Lisa for all your help with registration!

Some took this orange ball thing seriously! Suzanne Rogers was probably happier to find the darn thing than hitting it like that!

You look good, Suzanne; hope it worked out.
