Recap - Cowan Creek Play Day

Golfing Divas!It was a good turnout with 19 particpants for our first event of 2013. On Saturday January 19th, we were also blessed with great weather - making the drive to Georgetown a joy! Most groups played stroke play, with one tee time playing scramble format (remember if you are new to golf and would prefer this format, ask the organizer of future events to pair you up with others for a fun, no pressure round).

Sally Bowman won long drive for the low handicap group and Cynthia Wilkinson won long drive for the high handicap group. 

Sally Bowman and Diane Lee won the closest to the pin prizes.

Many thanks to our volunteers, especially Cheri Hisaw and Trish Hoener for making sure the event went smoothly!

Once again – no doubt that Sandra Fitzpatrik had the most snazzy outfit!!

As always, checkout our facebook page for more event photos!
