End of Season News

The 2009-2010 PLGA season has ended with tournaments, luncheons and lots of winners!  Before we get to those, note that the New 2010-2011 season has already begun and its not to late to join the fun!  Dues of $25 are due as of now, and must be paid before you can play on Wednesdays.  If you are interested in joining for the FIRST time, take a check made out to PLGA to the Pro Shop and they'll help you get started.  Or, call any of the officers listed below.  We'd love to have you!

The Plantation Challenge Cup Team captains Peg Gannon and Judy Nelson are smiling in this picture because they're holding 1st Place trophies for Low Net!!  The team also finished only 9 points out of first for Low Gross.  Also pictured are:  Patty Briscoe, Marilyn Gilbert, Gail Brych, Jan Arnold, Luanne Kerkhoff, Joan Morgan, MaryLee Kelso, Cheri Cate, Linda Dorsey, and Barb Cline.  Missing from the picture are Mei Wan, Dee Campbell, and Teresa Willman.  Way to go Plantation !!

The Closing Scramble celebrated the end of the season with a match won by MaryLee Kelso, Joyce Kelly, Joan Morgan, and Janice Darnley.  A Strawberry Festival planned by Lenore Nardini included lunch from Plantation Oaks and Lenore's own strawberry preserves for all!  Gifts were given to the club champion, to outgoing president Lassie Pelick, and to Judy Nelson for the most birdies for the season.

Last, but definitely not least, we give a big CONGRATULATIONS to Luanne Kerkhoff, the PRGC Club Champion.  We're proud to have a PLGA member in that spot, and Luanne continues to hold on to the title!  In the same tournament, Mary Bartley won the B Flight championship and winner in C Flight was Marilyn Gilbert.

Summer brings longer rough, wetter marshes, humidity and sunburn.  Keep cool, wear sunscreen, try a hybrid out of the rough and see you on the course!

WEDNESDAY PLAY DAY

Check the date and game in the ladies lounge and circle your name by Sunday a.m. to sign up for Wednesday play.  Check the outside bulletin board on Monday p.m. for your playing partners and starting hole.  All regular Wednesday games have an 8 a.m. shotgun start unless otherwise noted.   Meet at the staging area west of the pro shop (toward the practice range) by 7:40 and line up with your team.

Pay at the staging area:  $3 for the game and (optional games) $1 each for skins and closest to the pin.  Prize money and closest to the pin winnings are put “on the books” to be spent in the pro shop.  Skins are paid out in cash.

BIRDIES

On Wednesday, during league play, circle any birdies made on your score card.  If this is your first birdie as a member of the PLGA, you will receive a birdie pin at the awards ceremony after the Closing Scramble luncheon in April.  The player with the most birdies for the season receives an award.  Wednesday eagles receive a pin also.

HOLE-IN-ONE CLUB

A $5 check payable to PLGA and turned in to the Pro Shop makes you a member.  Any day you make a hole in one on Otter Creek (with witnesses) you receive a dollar for each paid up member of the club.  Check the lounge bulletin board to see if you owe another $5.

2 CLUB

Buy a $5 “2” pin from Linda Dorsey, and display it on your shirt, hat, bag, or whatever.  When you make a 2 on any hole, other members of the club playing with you will pay you $1 each.  Of course, you will owe a dollar to any member who makes a 2 while you are playing with them.

INVITATIONALS

Most clubs in the area hold an invitational every year or every other year.  Notices of dates, themes, and costs will be posted on the bulletin board in the lounge as they arrive.  Cost (usually $40-$50) covers breakfast, golf, cart, lunch, favors and prizes.  It is usually a team game.  These are lots of fun and are open to all members of our PLGA, regardless of handicap.

OTHER

We will host an Invitational in April (may be every other year), and Par Tee in April. You can be involved with planning these and other club events by calling the chairman of the event, the president, or the new member chairman.  They’ll help you get started.

Special tournaments include:  President’s Cup, Member/Member, Member/Guest, and Club Championship.  All members are eligible to play in all tournaments.   Also, each year we play a tournament with the lady 9 hole golfers and take turns hosting it alternate years.

Watch the sign up boards in the lounge and at the Pro Shop desk.

And please do not hesitate to ask any of the officers if you have a question about anything!
