What a great turn out for the 2024 Jingle Bell Open at
Cypress Woods Golf and Country Club.
It was great to see so many new members participate in this annual FUN event.
We had 80+ players participating this year. Players were trying their luck putting with a Candy Cane, hitting a tee shot with a baseball bat or tennis racket, trying to hit the same club from tee to green, really trying their luck hitting the tee shot with oven mitts on or making Eagles or Birdies with Santa's Helper hitting the approach shot.
In the Ladies Division scores were very close and a few score card playoffs were required:
We paid out 6 places and our annual perseverance price ( *score card play off)
Here are our top 3 winning teams:
1st place – Mia Palumbo, Lynn Robbins, Pam Dionese, Linda Creps *
2nd place – Patty Gift, Barb Mutagh, Jennie Taylor, Kerstin Koenig
3rd place – Paula Congiu, Vickie McGregor, Mary Ford, Carol Felner
In the Mixed Division:
1st place – Lesley and David Corydon, Deb and Mike Hincewicz*
2nd place – Gretchen and Bart Andersen, Christine Fabretti and Al Atinson
Our closest to the pin winners:
Landy Labonte # 5
Mary Ford #8
Paula Congiu holes # 12 and #16
We saw some great costumes in the Spirit of the Season - with the Holiday Tree team of Linda, Lynn, Mia and Pam claiming this year's best team and Bonnie the best individual outfit.
Another highlight was the Heads and Tails "competition" to win a Summer Foursome at Cypress Woods. Congratulations Judy Kotarak and a Big Thank You to Jennie Taylor for facilitating.
Players, thank you so very much for your participation and your support of the Pace Center of Girls.
Not only did we send Marianne Kearns, the Executive Director of Pace Center for Girls, home with a car full of items from the girls' wish list, gift cards and member cash donations, but we were also able to donate a total of $3130.00 to their Holiday Fund! Your generosity makes such a positive difference to the girls, and we greatly appreciate it.
A special thanks to ALL the volunteers who helped to make this event such a success and to Cypress Woods for hosting the 2024 LPGA Amateurs SWFL Chapter Jingle Bell Open.
