The Summer Sizzler lived up to its name on Aug. 11, when temps reached the teens. Seventy-two ladies from the PCLGA competed in the 2-Person Scramble with Twists partner event at the Tuscany Falls East course.
Susan Slaughter created a fun and exciting tournament with lots of surprises. She dedicated the competition to PCLGA President Ellen Enright, whose positive message always ends in encouragement, “Find your flame and keep it lit!”
There were nine regular scramble holes and nine scramble holes with twists.
Raffle tickets were awarded for net pars, birdies, and eagles.
Here’s how it played out:
Hole 2: Fun teeing off from the yellow teeing ground.
Hole 3: Play with the same club from tee-off into the hole.
Hole 5: Closest to the flame won a prize. Flame placards placed at the 100-, 150-, 200-, and 250-yard markers.
Hole 7: Shortest drive of team to be played.
Hole 9: Put the ball within six feet of the hole, it was good. Monica Lee smoked her 6 iron 138 yards within two feet of the flagstick for a net 2! Way to go, Monica!
Hole 11: Favorite hole! Players were instructed to bring their masks. One team member had to tee off blindfolded by their mask! If the player missed the shot, their partner could tee off without their blindfold starting with the second shot. Layne Sheridan birdied the hole and had a greater appreciation for sight-impaired golfers.
Hole 13: Another fun twist! Each player may throw the ball once instead of hitting it with a club. Ann Page, in perfect bowling form, rolled the ball 40 feet to the hole for a happy-tappy par!
Hole 16: Drive from the red teeing ground.
Hole 18: The final Twizzler of the Sizzler! Everyone tees off; one team had to play the ball farthest from the right or farthest from the left, depending on your team instruction.
Raffle winners won a cooling towel, ball marker, and golf ball tattoos.
Gift cards were purchased from Sugar N’ Spice and sweetened the pot to lucky winners.
