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.
