February 21 - ONES
What a strange event this one turned out to be--we had 19 ladies signed up to join the Biltmore ladies league for a golfing experience on the lovely Biltmore course. The day before the weather in Phoenix was cold and blustery and Biltmore ladies canceled. So many of our players 11 to be exact played on the Patriot course. We had a delightful sunny day!
We played a nine hole game where only holes beginning in the letters O N E S counted for score.
WINNERS:
FIRST FLIGHT
1st Robin Cook 37, 2nd Terry Barker 37.5 tie with Elsie Wilner 37.5
SECOND FLIGHT
1st Liz Nelson 34, Cathy Gaines 35.5, Shel Taylor 36

Doris Armstrong and Doris Kirschvink organized the tournament because they were the lucky winners last year. They did a marvelous job, organizing snacks, scorecards and lunch on the last day.

Winter in the Desert has not made up its mind about how cold or warm it wants to be. The low net of the partners game on the Gold on the 7th started on time and players enjoyed a reasonably comfortable day on the course. But the 12th was a long slow start at 10:30 due to a frost delay. Players stayed home until ten and then bundled up to play the Heritage Course. While things looked pretty good to start on the Patriot course on the 14th, our shotgun was held up 30 minutes due to frost. The last day warmed up pretty well and at the end of the tournament, lunch was served on the patio.
WINNERS: Terry Barker & Viggy Stankovic -- Congratulations!! Overall champions came in with a 186 for the three days of play. Next Year's Tournament Chairpersons. And please note that Viggy also won over all champion in the Partnership Eclectic so she will be chairperson of the two events in January and February of 2014!!
