Board Meeting: Monday, Feb. 15, 9 a.m., CCW
The 18-hole golf ladies were in
festive moods with attire to match
when they attended the 2015
Year-End Luncheon on Dec. 8 in the
Social Center Ballroom. Golf pro liaisons
Lee Matthews and Sheila Diller, who
were instrumental with making the year
a memorable one, were recognized and
thanked for their help and contributions
with our league. We also try to appreciate
all of our sponsors throughout the year
and many of our members utilize their
services as well; it seems to be a win/win
the sctexas.org website for a list of all of
the businesses that generously sponsor
our league.
The new board for the 2016 WGA 18-Hole
Group is as follows: President: Marcia
Ness; First Vice President: Catherine
Daniel; Second Vice President and Play
Day Director: Margo Maddux; Secretary:
Cindy Brien; Treasurer: Becky Scofield.
The committee chairmen for 2016 are
as follows: rules: Vicky Matthews;
handicaps: Ege Reichert; social:
Julie Dreyer and Marilyn Hamner;
Format will be Front 9 Low Net/Back
9 Scramble.
This is a One Couple (Two Player Team)
event.
On holes one through nine, post the
lowest net score. On holes 10 thru 18, post
your team gross score. Combine these
scores for the game total. Registration
for this event will close on January 29.
We ask that you register online.
Please note that registration for games
has changed slightly from last year.
The CGA website has been updated
with the 2016 board members, contact
information and club updates. See you
on the golf course!
membership: Paula Mockenhaupt;
publicity/historian: Bonnie Beauchamp
and Kay Atkins; ways and means:
Kathy Russell; major tournaments: Pat
Blankenship and Mary VanAudenhove;
prizes: Sandee Fox; golf tepresentative:
Marilyn Strickland; hole-in-one: Linda
Copt. As you can see, it takes many hard-
working ladies to make everything run
as smoothly as possible. There are also
many other members not mentioned who
work tirelessly on the committees listed,
so it’s true that it takes all members to
make a league.
Our new President, Marcia Ness, has
made “communication” our buzzword
for the 2016 season. She and the rest of
the board want to be open and available
for the membership and it promises to
be a great year.
We look forward to a wonderful 2016
season full of good weather and good golf
and we welcome new members to join in
on the fun. Check our website for more
details concerning our club. We’d love to
have you join us.
