Captain's 2006 Year
End Wrap Up This was a year of "firsts"
for us!
|
We started our first regular week-day play dates, this
year! While the turnout was not as consistently large as we would have
liked, your feedback has been that you want our Thursday dates to
continue, so we'll resume in March or April, once the weather is more
cooperative. |
|
We held our first ever Copper Classic Invitational which
was such a huge success – 84 ladies – almost as many as the men had for
their invitational! We've had such great feedback that we're hoping to
do another one this coming summer. |
|
Ten ladies participated in our first Ecclectic
tournament. In case you don't remember my earlier emails, this format is
really fun. You pay a small one-time sweeps and then over the course of
six months play six postable rounds of golf at Saddle – it can even be
during one of our Saturday events - or it can be a round you play on
your own, as long as its with another Ladies or Mens' club member. A
giant scorecard is posted in the ladies lounge and each time you turn in
your score card, the giant score is updated to reflect the best score
you got on each hole. For instance, if you got a 6 on the first hole the
first round, but a 5 the next round, the 5 becomes your score for that
hole. When you're all done, you end up with one score for all six rounds
and it can be VERY low! I think the ladies that played this year will
agree that it was fun to compete against yourself to better your own
score on each hole. Our EC period was from April to the first week in
September. Hopefully, more of you will join in the fun next year! |

We launched a complete redesign of SCWGA website. The
site not only has our golfing events calendar, it also has info on our
Board and Committees; our By-Laws and Rules; Past Champions; a Did You
Know section that has info on etiquette and how to post your scores;
links to the WGANC website and more! We're also working to add a Picture
Gallery section to keep an online history of our events. |
Awards/Holiday Luncheon
At this annual event, we announced the 2006 Ecclectic winners, as well as
all of the other 2006 Award winners - see the list on our
Awards Recipients
page. Congratulations winners!
Our special guest at the Luncheon was Julia Tidball, Principal of
Copperopolis Elementary School, who spoke to us about the school's Science
Camp program for sixth grade students. As Principal Tidball told us, Science
Camp costs $250 per child and we are thrilled (as is the school!) and proud
that we raised $2565 - enough to send TEN children! This year our members
also bought Holiday presents for 25 local children through the Angel Tag
program - more (I believe) than we've ever done before! The beauty of Angel
Tag program is that although its our members that buy and wrap the gifts,
the children never know - they think the gifts came from their parents! By
participating so whole-heartedly in both of these worthwhile programs, our
ladies have once again shown embodied true Holiday Spirit! Many thanks to
all of you who contributed and to Pat Thionnet and Carol Neach for
organizing our fundraising efforts!
The Luncheon itself was a great success - check out the pics
in our Photo Gallery! Our biggest turnout
ever - 70 ladies! The food was great and the decorations - as always - just
beautiful! Thanks to the entire Awards/Holiday Luncheon Committee for
putting together such a great event and closing out the year with such
style: Invitations an d Publicity: Dolores McCann and Linda Merrill; Name
Tags: Barbi Marsden; Reservations: Karen Kaja; Decorations and Favors:
Franki Koeper, Linda Merrill, Darlene DeBaldo, Pat Thionnet and Karen Kaja;
Music : M.J. Young; Charitable Events: Pat Thionnet, Carol Neach;
Centerpiece Give-away Poem: Pat Thionnet, Carol Neach; and last, but NEVER
least, this year's Chair, Joni Slezak.
Next year's Luncheon will be on December 8th, so mark you
calendar now! By the way, take a look at pictures of this year's Luncheon.
In closing, a few "thank you's" are in order.
I'd like to thank M.J. Young for serving as our Rules Chair
for the past two years and for the seemingly boundless enthusiasm and energy
she displays in everything she touches! We've all learned much from her
clear explanation of some of those pesky rules! I'm sure M. J. would tell
you that she has learned a lot about golf from holding the Rules Chair
position - as I am sure one of you will too, now that the seat is open! Pam
Woodford has agreed to take on the Rules Chair role for 2007. Look for
her first email in late January or early February.
I'd also like to thank Mary Ellen Lazarus for continuing to
act as our Open Day Chair and my fellow Board Members - Co-Captain Laura
Wilson, Secretary Barbi Marsden, Treasurer Susan Bresee, Handicap Chair
Barbara Gaidsick and Tournament Chair Joni Slezak - for being so patient as
we worked through our first year together.
Here's to another great golfing year!
Vicki Robinson, Captain |
