The PebbleCreek Ladies Golf Association’s Senior/Super Senior Tournament was held on February 19-20, 2019, and co-chaired by Julie Greek and Karen Stadjuhar. The two-day event featured a Mamma Mia – Here We Go Again! theme and was played on the Tuscany Falls East and Eagle’s Nest courses. The tournament format was individual stroke play, low gross/low net. There were three categories of players: Super Seniors (age 75 and over), Seniors (age 65 to 74) and Juniors (under 65). Super Seniors had a choice of playing both days of the tournament or one day.
The weather was a little chilly with frost delays both days; however, sunshine appeared on the second day! Even so, players were happy to get inside the warm Tuscany Falls Ballroom on the last day and enjoy lunch, while Mama Mia – Here we go again! music played in the background. The overall 2019 winners were announced by PebbleCreek Director of Golf, Jason Whitehill. Super Senior honors went to Donna Havener, low gross, and Louise Levanti, low net. Senior winners were Teresa Christianson, low gross, and Karen Poturalski, low net. Each of the players received $100 and a beautiful, engraved glass bowl trophy!
After the overall winners were determined, the remaining players competed for low gross and low net awards in their flight, by category.
