Renault Winery, June 4th/5th, 2011:   Great reports came in regarding the overnight at Renault at the beginning of June. The gourmet food, the charming accommodations and the lovely golf course all got high marks. And most importantly, the weather was fabulous. Of the 21 participants, some were new to ASGA events. Tony P. and Corinne C. produced Saturday’s longest drives; closest to the pin was achieved by Donna B. On Sunday, the scramble teams captained by Tony P. and Chuck L. tied for first place. Kudos go to Chuck K. and Dave G. for arranging this weekend of golf, food and fun.

Winding Hills, June 19th, 2011:    19 players went north to Winding Hills, a popular venue that we will visit again on October 1st. Bob Martin took closest to the line while Helena and Elizabeth M were closet to the pin. The thanks for organizing efforts go to Tony P. with an assist from Bev B.

Minebrook, July 9th, 2011:  24 members participated with Marc Levinson taking both closest to the pin and the longest drive honors. Judy Westhoven won longest drive and Donna Beland closest to the pin. Thanks go to Lisa Rademacher for running this popular event.

Hawk Pointe, July 14th, 2011:   Fifteen members and a potential member trekked out to the course on a hot sunny day. As most know, Hawk Pointe is known for its many bunkers and so instead of having the usual games (closest to the pin/longest drive), prizes were given to the persons who put their ball into the bunkers the most, the least and closest to the pin after hitting it out of the bunker. Lesley Rothfeld won the prize for hitting the most balls into the bunkers (10), Elizabeth Mark, Gus Eggerling and Geri Powder received prizes for getting the fewest balls into the bunkers (2 each) and our potential new member received the prize for hitting the ball out of the bunker and into the hole. After completing play, drinks were enjoyed on the deck overlooking the course with dinner following.

Maveric Driving Range, July 16th, 2011: Ten members attended a golf instruction session given by PGA Pro, Bill Spicer at Maveric Driving Range. Under a hot sun, Bill was able to present the basics to help us understand what is needed to improve our game. He reviewed the proper grip, the

stance, and emphasized the rhythm required to develop a good swing. He then encouraged everyone to practice what he taught and gave

each one individualized pointers to help him or her improve their swing. All participants agreed that Bill is an excellent teacher and has a

relaxed method of instruction. We then went to the driving range and worked on what Bill had shown us. Afterward, seven of us went to

the Cafe Rustica for some drinks and a very nice dinner.  Thank you Chuck Kreysig for arranging this worthwhile outing!

Water Gap Country Club, July 30th - 31st, 2011: We were lucky on the Friday evening of the Water  Gap CC weekend that the thunder and downpour abated in time for a Friday night 9 hole shotgun round. The Saturday play at Water Gap closest to the pin winner was Sandy Fink and longest drives were by Susan Kaminski and Garry Koop. On Sunday, the golf was at Glen Brook with a scramble format requiring the teams to use four drives by each member of the foursome. Scoring the lowest were Joe Cifune, Marjory Whitman, Louise Rossi and Elizabeth Mark. In 2nd place were Garry Koop, Beverly Boyle, Sandy Fink and Barbara Potash. The team of Tony Perino, Camille McEntee, Anne Brown and Patty Courtney garnered 3rd place. Prizes were even awarded for 4th place going to Chuck Liggio, Linda Davidson, Geri Powder and Debbi Wolf. The Singles group appreciates the efforts that Linda Madernini and Camille McEntee expended in organizing and running this popular and well-attended overnight.

Rolling Greens, August 18th, 2011: Later in August 9 attendees enjoyed the golf at Rolling Greens. Garry Koop, Elizabeth Mark and Janet Wicka attained lowest gross scores.  After play, the group dined at Max’s. Hooray for post-op Janet who arranged this mid-month day of golf.

Farmstead, August 20th, 2011:  14 members played at Farmstead courtesy of Bert Hermann who set up golf at this lovely venue. Closest to the line was

won by Anna Ramsey. Pro-shop gift certificates went to Sandy Fink and Leslie Rothfeld with cash awarded to Anna and Janet Wicka. The

participants stayed on site to dine.

Knoll West, August 25th, 2011:  Bad weather struck again for the Knoll West outing. Dire storm predictions and then actual heavy rain resulted in no golf for those anticipating a fun day on August 25th. Marc Levinson, in charge of this event, canceled well in advance that morning, thank you very much. Thus, the jubilant  recounting of the majority of our outings ends on a damp note.

Skyview, September 25th, 2011:  13 golfers participated with 1st and 2nd prizes for the scramble teams. The weather was gorgeous and fortunately this golf course does not have a flooding problem. Thank you Linda Davidson for making the arrangements.

Winding Hills, October 1st, 2011:  16 golfers enjoyed a day up at Winding Hills. Leon Saddler and Joe Cifune garnered prizes for closest to the pin on the front. The gals who won on the back were Elizabeth Mark and Lesley Rothfeld. Geri Powder was the organizer and again she did an excellent job.

Patriot Hills, October 9th, 2011:   In summer-like weather, 7 players ventured out on this extremely hilly course. Everyone

chuckled over the unusual ratio with 4 guys and 3 gals playing at this challenging venue. Rob Jensen won closest to the pin and Elizabeth

Mark won for the ladies. The unbelievably warm day ended with a delicious seafood dinner at Gilligan’s.  Debbi Wolf set up the golf

at Patriot Hills.
