Women’s 9 Hole: An amazing day for golf!

By Pam McCarthy

What an amazing summer of golf! We have enjoyed so many fun rounds this year! Tournament after tournament has kept us working on our game and managing our calendars. On Tuesday, September 3 the foursomes had a lovely summer day of bright sunshine and clear skies. In the distance we could hear the distinct busy call of the train whistle. Sixty-five players warmed up at the putting green and driving range. When the exit to tees began, excitement filled the pathways. All of us wish to be at the top of the Leader Board …today could be the day. Tuesday turned into a very special game for our Captain’s Trophy winners. Kathy Kyne on the front 9 with a net 30 (- 6 under)!  Laura Swenson on the back 9 with a net 35 (-1 under)! Congratulations, ladies!
