“Arizona Golfari—Girls Gone Wild” was the theme for the PebbleCreek Ladies Golf Association (PCLGA) Kick-Off Tournament in November when the PCLGA ladies were paired in Giraffe foursomes at Tuscany West and Zebra foursomes at Eagle’s Nest to shamble their way through the Arizona desert to the finish line before lunch at the clubhouse.
The annual Kick-Off Tournament is the traditional start to the season for the 18-hole ladies league in PebbleCreek. Co-Chairs Mikki Leach and Jeannie Alvarez were the best safari leaders ever! The winners of the two flights were:

Chelli Fossen had the Longest Drive and Trish Watkins was Closest to the Pin at Eagle’s Nest.
Following the tournament, the Zebras and Giraffes gathered for lunch at Eagle’s Nest and were tested on their knowledge of safari trivia.
The winners were Julie Webb, Jeannine Mayone, Carole Schumacher, and Arlene Engelbert taking home a striking new safari headcover.
Congratulations to all the Golfari Girls!
