The PCLGA’s Senior/Super Senior Champions Tournament was held on Feb. 9 and 10, on the Tuscany Falls East and West courses.
The theme of this year’s major was Pearls of Wisdom. Co-chairs Linda Campbell and Pam Kale inspired us all with the pearls of wisdom quotes on each teeing ground. Here are some pearls to live by:
“If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.”—Dolly Parton
“Be thankful for what you have; you will end up with even more.”—Oprah Winfrey
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”—Mae West
“A champion is defined not by their wins but how they recover when they fall.”—Serena Williams
“Fight for the things you care about but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”—Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“If you obey all the rules, you are going to miss some of the fun!”—Katherine Hepburn
There were three age divisions for the tournament: Juniors under 65; Seniors 65-75; Super Seniors 75 plus, played only on the 10th. The format was individual stroke play with low gross and low net payouts. There were two flights in the Junior Division, six flights in the Senior Division, and three flights in the Super Senior Division.
