The weather couldn’t have been better for 42 women golfers who blew the cobwebs off their clubs to play on the first Ladies’ Night of the season at Marmot Ridge Golf Course, May 1.

Hardhats might have been a good idea as more than a few balls strayed from their intended course. No actual hits were recorded, though.

Low score was won by Susan Kruse, and Chelsea McQueen turned in the high score.

Long drives were shot by Diane Matlock and Rene Zest, while closest-to-the-pin (KP) bragging went to Donna White and Kruse.

Long putt winners were Odets Guimond and Becky Lewis, and the Birdie Pot winner was White.

The Ladies’ Club plays every Wednesday, and changed its dinner and prizes format this season, going from a weekly event to a monthly configuration, which will see dinner and prizes on the last Wednesday of each month at El Caballo restaurant.

Marmot Ridge Men’s Night, had eight golfers come out for opening night on May 2. Men’s Club is every Thursday, and newcomers are welcome.
