On Monday June 1st the 8 members of the WPGA team representing ESYCC headed

to Hog Neck Golf Course in Easton, MD to play in the Team Match semi-final. They

played a practice round on Monday in sunny, hot weather. Was it Snoopy who started

his novels with “It was a dark and stormy night...”? Well, it sure was Monday night

and carried into Tuesday, the day of the tournament. A very wet, cold bedraggled

team was defeated by the team from Jonathans Landing Golf Course, who eventually

went on to win the Championship the following week. Despite the loss the team had a

wonderful time. We're so proud of them. Congratulations on your successful season

ladies!

The LGA Member/Guest tournament was held on June 16th. It was a bright sunny

day and the theme of Red, White & Blue was evident everywhere. Everything looked

beautiful! Many many thanks to tournament co-chairs Peaches Dodge and Marie

Ruggiere (and their sidekick Sue Connors) for their hard work putting together such a

wonderful tournament. Congratulations to the winners:

Low Gross, Susan Duer & Sarah Jones

Low Net, Barbara Murphy & Jen Reason

Second Low Gross, Sue Connors & Tammy Hedspeth

Second Low Net, Peaches Dodge & Margie Byrd.

On June 23rd the ladies played a regular monthly tournament. Due to the hot weather

the tournament was played on The Short Course. Congratulations to the winners of

the Criss Cross Tournament, first place Ginger Meisenhelder and second place

Barbara Murphy.

The Ladies Invitational is coming up in August! It is open to all female golfers, not
