The PCLGA held their annual Member-Member Tournament on March 2 and 3. Both the Tuscany Falls East and West courses were played.
The theme, Let the Good Times Roll, in the Mardi Gras setting, allowed the participants to display their creativity by decorating their carts and themselves with colorful masks, beads, and feather boas.
Flights 1, 3, 4, 8 played on the East Course on the 2nd and the West Course on the 3rd.
Flights 2, 5, 6, 7 played on the West Course on the 2nd and the East Course on the 3rd.
The format on the East Course was a modified alternating shot where each two-woman team teed off, the best drive was selected, and alternating shots from there on until the ball was holed out. The format on the West Course was a two-woman scramble with a three-drive minimum per player.
The two days couldn’t have been any different weather wise. On the 2nd, it was a sunny but breezy day. That was nothing compared to the 30-mile-an-hour wind on the 3rd! The saying “March is in like a lion, out like a lamb” refers to the wind in this instance. The lion’s roar was treacherous, especially on the front nine of the West Course, but the players showed their true mettle, as the scores were impressive!
Case in point, the team of Andrea Dilger and Teresa Christianson had five birdies for a gross 67! It was an amazing feat to witness. Way to play, Andrea and Teresa!
The payouts were as follows: 1st place team $80; 2nd place team $60; 3rd place team $36.
