Kingsville ladies 18-hole division

By Rosalind Knight

KINGSVILLE — What a different season this has been for golf, but how fortunate we are to be playing our beautiful Kingsville course even while observing the pandemic protocols in place. A wave at friends across fairways reminds us how much we value each other even from a distance, and like everyone on or off the course, we look forward to things returning to some semblance of “normal.”

June 30 saw us play “Tens”. In that game, you give yourself 10 points for a drive in the fairway; then, you subtract the number of putts on each hole and keep track of your points. This means that if you miss that hallowed tract of fairway, you could be accumulating numbers in the negative. Pam Skillings earned a whopping 92 points, Bev Miller tallied 77 points, and Mary-Jo Laforet garnered 73. Great drives, ladies!

We were sizzling out there when finishing the two-week “Gross Eclectic” on July 7. In that game, we kept track of our “gross” score for two weeks on the Gold/Red track, then recorded the better number for each hole. Here are the top scorers for that game: Silver Flight: Sandy Hernandez, 80, Cindy Fields, 82, Marlene Sinclair, 83; A Flight: Sandy Duncan, 88, Martha Leadman, 89, MaryJo Laforet, 91; B Flight: Lucille Kraus, 89, Pam Skillings, 96, Cindy Morel, 96; C Flight: Gwen Perry, 99, Maria Rocca, 101, Rosalind Knight, 102.

Congratulations to Cindy Fields for the hot eagle she bagged on July 7 on the first hole of the Gold Course!

On July 21 we concluded the twoweek “Net Eclectic” game. After recording our handicap “dots” on the card, we wrote down the net score for each hole and recorded the more successful number after the two-week period which we played on White/Gold. These are the winners: Silver Flight: Judith Brown, 67, Marlene Sinclair, Joanne Rowlandson and Shirley Jacuzzi, all tied with 70; A Flight: Martha Leadman, 67, Jean Page, 68, Lucille Kraus and Mary-Jo Laforet, tied with 70; B Flight: Pam Skillings, 66, Cindy Brush, 69, Maureen Nefs, 70; C Flight: a three-way tie with 65 for Maria Rocca, Fran Wasyliniuk and Rosalind Knight.

Our team standings to date: Purple, 20.5; Red, 18.5; Blue, 18; Pink, 13.

Let’s continue to enjoy ourselves as we swing into the second half of our golf season!
