Blackhawk Women’s Golf Association Updates

By Natasha Calomese, Resident since 2010

We had an adventurous start to our BWGA play day season! January brought us 18 consecutive days of rain that caused flooding, mudslides and unplayable courses at the club that prevented us from playing on our first official play day of the year. We would like to extend a huge thanks to our groundskeeping team who worked tirelessly to repair the damage to both courses caused by the storm and for making it possible for us to play golf. The first 25 days of January were cart path only and we were able to have our first play day of the year at the Falls course on January 12th with 15 players in attendance, including one of our newest members, Stephanie Newby!

Our first Flight Day of the year was on January 26th and was held at the Lakeside course. Congratulations to our Flight Day winners:

Correction: 2022 Most Improved Player

In the January 2023 BWGA article, we incorrectly named the 2022 Most Improved Player. After recognizing an oversight in the calculation for the award, we want to make the correction and congratulate Sandra Isbell as our 2022 Most Improved Player.
