Saturday, Sept. 20, was a perfect day for a round of golf as shown by the 36 men and 17 women who signed up to play in the club championship at Lacarya golf course.
The hard part (golfing) of the day started at 10 a.m. and then the fun started at 5 p.m. with an early dinner and prize presentations. The golf course served a fabulous turkey dinner and spouses and friends were invited to see who won the championship and to join in on the social aspect of golfing.
Carol Hindle won the Ladies Low Gross Champion title and Rosemary Harley won the Ladies Low Net title. Doug Norton won the Men’s Low Gross Champion and Larry Colborne won the Men’s Low Net.
Debbie Pearce, club captain and Abbey Bates, co-captain were presented with a rosebud vase and gift from the Ladies Club members for their grand job of organizing the Ladies Golf Nights this season.
The club members presented Linda and Heinz Fitz, owners of Lacarya Golf Course, with an all expenses paid two-night stay at Harrison Hot Springs to thank them for their hospitality and all the work they put into the golf course.
It is hard to remember what the course used to look like when Linda and Heinz took over last year. The course is now in such great condition it has been a treat to golf on all season.
A big thank you went out to the staff who worked so hard in the kitchen and restaurant, and not to forget all the volunteers who gave up golfing time to keep the course in tip top shape.
We are all looking forward to next season. But there are still many days left this year to get out and hit some balls and work on that handicap.
We invite all to join us next year and hope to see lots of new golfers and the return of the regulars.
Golfing offers a wonderful way to enjoy a walk around a manicured lawn and enjoy companionship and a cold one at the end of the day.
