DECEMBER - END OF YEAR GAMES

TOURNAMENT COORDINATORS - Donnie Chrispell and Lory Charnetsky

December 20 - Middle Nine on the Heritage Course.  A cold morning, lots of cancelations but in the end 14 women teed off at around 9:15 a.m.

Winners:
FIRST FLIGHT
1st Tessie Van Wagner 33. 2nd Jan Boggs 35, 3rd Terry Barker 35.5

SECOND FLIGHT
1st Diane Haller 32. Laurel Prill 35. 3rd Shel Taylor and Barb Mulvaine tied 36

December 13 - Joker Stapleford. Rain was predicted but in spite of the weather, 21 golfers came to play the Heritage (RED) course. The fairways were lush emerald green and looked like carpet. When players arrived at the ladies locker room, they pulled a hole assignment from the bag and played with the other three women who pulled the same hole assignment. So the group was mixed in the blind draw and members agreed that it was a nice way to pair members with other members they infrequently got to play with. Also, we received positive comments about this new game, Joker Stapleford -- a game of points.

Winners:

FIRST FLIGHT
1st Molly Van Marter 80. 2nd Tessie Van Wagner 63. 3rd Dee Mayben 60.

SECOND FLIGHT
1st Viggy Stankovic 78. 2nd Betty Scott 76. 3rd Cathy Gaines 74.

THIRD FLIGHT
1st Harriet Buttemiller 69 -- Tie with Donnie Chrispell 69, 3rd Jane Fallon 68.

TEAM Happenings

December 3 - Roadrunners ventured to Wickenburg and played golf at the Los Caballeros Golf Club.

The weather was a balmy 78 degrees, the fairways were lush and the company pleasant.  The golf playing--well, not so much. So the team was treated to a dinner at Carol and Carl Erickson's home afterwards.  Carl invited the husbands too and cooked a wonderful meal for the frazzled players.  A great end to a day filled with scenic desert beauty at the lovely resort at Wickenburg.

While playing golf, we were treated to late afternoon herd of horses racing down the desert next to the fairway. Here are some pictures:
