The Club Championship matches were held on July 15th and 16th. Congratulations to our own Susan Schaming for winning the Mickey Wright Flight! Also, congratulations to Erin Lo for keeping that front row parking spot.

On July 20, the 9-Hole invitational at The Field Club, themed “Margaritaville,” was played under sunny skies and featured, among other attractions, flamingos on the 9th tee! The event had all the hallmarks of a great invitational-beautiful course, lovely hosts, and crazy costumes. When the sand settled, Julie Knowles defended the honor of Laurel Creek by finishing in second place with her group. Jimmy Buffet would have been proud!

Ineke Daniels, Donna McHugh, Chrissy Duman and Eileen Burke represented Laurel Creek in a Jersey Girls match at Little Mill. Being short 2 players made this Stableford event challenging from the start, but these ladies still managed to pull off the 3rd place spot for the day with only 4 players. Great job! Currently Medford Village is in the lead this season, followed by a tie for second between our team and Little Mill, with Medford Lakes ranked 4th. We have 2 more matches this season so if you are interested in playing please contact Christine Blessing for more information.

Member Guest registration is now open. Please sign up via the LC app. This event is open to all ladies with full golfing privileges.

It’s not too late to join the LCWGA this season. There is still plenty of golf ahead of us this summer and fall. We play every Wednesday morning through October. If interested, please email Kelly Redcay at kellyanneredcay@hotmail.com.

Rules Tip Of The Month The Putting Green

1. Once the ball comes to rest on the putting surface you may mark it with a coin or any small object, lift and clean it, but remember to replace it in the exact spot when it is your turn to putt.

2. Golfers are allowed to repair almost any damage on the green such as spike marks, ball marks, indentations form a club or flagstick, and animal damage. However, golfers ARE NOT permitted to repair aeration holes, natural surface imperfections or natural wear of the hole.
