When the Lady Putters from MountainView came to Quail Creek, they were greeted by shouts of “welcome” as they passed under an arch of raised putters. Forty-four MountainView Putters competed against 64 Quail Creek Putters for this annual event forming 18 teams of six Putters each.
To distinguish the two teams, everyone from MountainView wore pink tops while the Quail Creek team was clad in blue.
In this high stakes competition, everyone on the first place team received $10 while the second place team earned $5 each. The third place team members each took home a commemorative mug.
