Blackhawk Women’s 18 Hole Golf Association By Lynn Prakash, Resident since 1987
Blackhawk Women’s 18 Hole Golf Association (BWGA) consists of 160 women who love to play the game of golf. They also love the socializing with friends new and old that is a part of this wonderful sport. Within the group, they have two traveling teams that play other clubs throughout the East Bay. They compete for both Overall Gross Scores (lowest golf scores) and Overall Net (lowest net score based on handicap). While they have two separate teams, there is great camaraderie between the two teams, and many players compete on both teams. Last month the Diablo Valley Team Play (DVTP) gals won Overall Gross for their league. The Diablo Valley Team consists of their lowest handicap players who play against 9 other teams throughout the Valley. Captains Amy Shell and Lisa Winsten led their team to their 7th straight victory!! This month the East Bay Team Play also won Overall Gross for their league. The East Bay Team Play League competes against 13 other teams throughout the East Bay, stretching from Ruby
Hill in Livermore to Green East Bay Team Play Team Valley near Cordelia. The East Bay Team Play league includes a wider range of handicap levels than the DVTP league. This was the first year that this league competed for both Gross Scores and Net Scores. Their team of 30 women competed at different Diablo Valley Team Play Team times throughout the long season – April to September. At mid-season they were tied for fifth place, but persevered with some pretty awesome golf scores in the second half of the season to climb to 1st place. Captains Lynn Prakash and Liz Barker celebrated with their team this week after clinching the title at Oakhurst Country Club on September 5.
