Wigwam Womens Golf Association Club Championship

TOURNAMENT CHAIRPERSONS - MICHELE SCHUCK & DIANE SULLIVAN

April 22, 24, 25

Michele, Diane and Justin ran three tournaments called the WWGA Championship, this week.

The championship flight had 8 contenders for the coveted Championship cup. The first flight had 8 as well, going for bragging rights, I guess.....

The Seniors had 12 members vying for the Senior Championship Cup. On the last day 6 members joined in to 'follow the field' and have lunch.....

Champion Robin Cook took home a beautiful vase filled with a lovely assortment of Spring flowers, as well as her name on the cup. Congratulations to Robin!

RALLY FOR THE CURE

MARCH 15 - WWGA hosted a charity event to raise funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

123 golfers paid $20.00 to play on the Heritage Course. Non members played as well and paid $50.00 which included the $20 and green fees.  Many people contributed from $20.00 to $300.00 even though they did not play.

Dale and Steve Curley organized the event. They both searched high and low and got many wonderful prizes to include in a raffle. Players paid $20.00 for 5 tickets and many won the wonderful gifts that Steve and Dale brought to the golf course that day.

Winners of the women's low net prize provided by the Komen folks was Michelle Schuck. She won a pink and black golf bag. Bud Bennett won the men's low net and received a putter.

Bob Slagle of S and S Tires donated 10 dozen donuts with pink frosting.  Thanks Bob.

THANKS DALE AND STEVE for all your hard work which raised $5,085 for the charity. $2,460 for the Rally for the Cure and $2,625 for the Susan G. Komen foundation which will go to the local affiliate.

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.

February 7, 12, 14

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!!
