The Women’s Roadrunner Golf Leagues are alive and well for the 2020-21 season, but they too have been affected by COVID-19. Each year, PebbleCreek Ladies Golf Association (PCLGA) members represent PebbleCreek as members of the PebbleCreek Roadrunners traveling golf team. The Roadrunner League is a highly competitive league with teams from eight different clubs across the greater Phoenix area. However, due to COVID-19, two of the clubs are not able to field teams this year, but they expect to be back next year in full force.
The six clubs participating this year are as follows: Anthem, Blackstone, Briarwood, Desert Mountain, Superstition, and PebbleCreek golf clubs. The two clubs taking a leave of absence are Red Mountain Ranch and Tonto Verde.
Sharon Hadley and Andrea Dilger are the captains of the Roadrunner team for the 2020-21 season. The team this year consists of fabulous women golfers Andrea Dilger, Ellen Enright, Sharon Hadley, Mary Harris, Kathy Hubert-Wyss, Suzanne Kanaly, Marilyn Reynolds, Amber Rivera, Sheri Sears, Layne Sheridan, Susan Slaughter, Monica Lee, and Cindy Sota.
The league this year will consist of six matches; one at each of the participating clubs. Each club fields four two-women teams, and they play the four-ball format. The four-ball format is where the lowest gross and net scores for the two-person team are counted for each hole.
PebbleCreek selects the women with the current lowest handicaps who are available to play in each match.
Throughout the six-event season, a running tally of scores is kept by the league for both low gross and low net of all four two-women teams.
PebbleCreek is excited to compete in the Roadrunner League this year and is looking forward to being a serious contender for league champion.
