GOLF AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer.

Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.

Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls.

If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble.

Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.

The term 'mulligan' is really a contraction of the phrase 'maul it again.'

A 'gimme' can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ....neither of whom can putt very well.

An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse.

Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.

If your best shots are the practice swing and the 'gimme putt', you might wish to reconsider this game.

Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.

Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work, and both are expensive.
 

The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.


THANKS, JANE!!!

CLOSING SOCIAL

Another year in the books!  The Board would like to express our sincere appreciation to all the members of Sun Hills Ladies Twilight Golf Association.  Again, you have made this league the very BEST!!!!!  THANK YOU LADIES!

The Closing Social a a grand success!  Tacey and the staff at The Island Buffalo Grill prepared us a delectable meal.  YUMMO! 

Two important accomplishments were recognized:  Kelly Montoya was our Most Improved for 2013 with a 4.1 stroke improvement in her UGA Index.  Dara Schofield won the Ringer in 2013 with a 38 stroke improvement!  WOW!  Congrats to Kelly and Dara!!

We had bright and classy tote bags with a choose your own prize for all who attended.  The raffle baskets we had were outstanding!  We raised enough money to cover some of the costs for the Opening Social.  YAY!

We voted on and passed an amendment to the league constitution and by-laws.  The revised edition can be seen by opening the "By-Laws" tab on the home page of this BLOG.

We had elections.  Our Social Chair, Vicki Miya and her committee, Marie and Tracy, chose not to run again.  We would like to thank them for the delicious meals they prepared for the league this past year.  We were afraid that the league would lose its "social standing" until Michelle Heller volunteered to take that responsibility.  Jeannine Bird and Janice Ventura immediately offered to be on her committee!  Thanks to Michelle and all those who will help her.  You are all very appreciated.

The rest of the Board was re-elected by acclamation. 

We discussed PODs and it was decided that the One-Woman Scramble would be played in September.  Criers and Whiners and the New Red, White and Blue would be moved into the regular April to August rotation.  Any other POD suggestions need to be emailed to Dodie by January 1, 2014.  Please include instructions!

For all ties in weekly PODs and Club Championship, we decided to do scorecard play-offs rather than have very small payouts to a lot of members.  This will be decided by the lowest score on the most difficult hole.

Next year it will cost $5 to participate in the Ringer with the money collected being given back to the top 3 improvers in cash!  This will be discussed again at the Opening Social.

We had a discussion regarding trophies and payouts for the Club Championship.  It was decided that we would no longer give trophies to everyone who placed in the Championship.  The Club Champion will be given a remembrance of some sort as well as money.  We will continue to pay 40% of the field.

Enough business...lets get on to the pictures!!!














































 SEE YOU ALL NEXT SPRING!!!!!
