The Lady Putters work hard to try to improve their scores and for some the extra effort seems to pay off as eight members earned $5 by getting a hole–in–one on the money hole, the hole believed to be the most difficult of the day. Achieving this goal were Linda Kelly, Cindy Losk, Carol Dixon, Patty Hall, Marsha Sutton, Mary Talton, Char Brehm, and Carol Bensen.
Perhaps even more difficult than getting a hole–in–one on the Money Hole is consistently hitting five or more holes–in–one on a single day. Those who achieve this distinction are eligible for a quail pin, but that’s an award they can only earn once a year. The Putters statistician, Lynda Pilcher, keeps a record of those who keep up the pace and at the end of the year the ladies will be presented a gold quail pin if they earned eight or more additional quail pins during the year.
Scoring seven holes–in–one was Peggy Swanson who also scored five on a different day. Getting six holes–in–one were Yoshie Hennessy and Sherri Norine. Sherri also shot five on two different days and Yoshie one.
Hitting five holes–in–one were: Cindy Losk, Jill Wibbenhorst, Darcy Van Sant, Connie Ownby, Cyndi Lorenzen, Deb Melton, Jonel Dlugos, Roni Carrick, Gracie Gardner, Carol Bensen, Jan Ederle, and Sharon Minard.
Ladies interested in giving the Putters a try are invited to come to the back patio of the Clubhouse on Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m. to check in with putting beginning at 9 a.m. Please bring a putter and one ball. The cost to play is $1. One may try the Lady Putters on two different occasions before making a decision on whether or not to join with annual dues being $20. New members quickly learn that the Putters club is more about friendship, camaraderie and getting some fresh air than only scores.
