In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many of the members wore pink.

At the informal executive meeting after lunch, a couple of our energetic members demonstrated some of the stretches they use to stay flexible. That’s dedication. Some of us were content to watch.

We celebrated Halloween on Oct 31, fielding 7 teams of 4. Play was Low Net Best 2 Balls and the competition was close.

Following the competition on the course we were treated to a great lunch and a spectacular costume parade. Joy really showed her excitement over winning money as part of her team.

The month of November started off with Woodbridge hosting a two-day (Nov 6 & 7) WGANC Legacy Tournament. Six of the players — Pamela Hughes, Erin DeVries, Linda Fyffe, Chris Phelps, Sheri Leonard and Donna Brundy — were from Woodbridge. All of them placed in their respective flights.

Tues, Nov 7 – our regular sweeps day – was alerted to accommodate the WGANC players. We played a mini ECCE tournament on the Lake Course. Seventeen members participated.

Earlier last month, Donna Brundy was able to meet with the Tokay Girls Golf Team to present them with our $600 donation. Thank you, Donna.

Well 2023 is almost over, and with that, Beth and my tenure as your Co-Captains is almost over. Beth conducted our last Board meeting and I am penning this last Bulletin piece. It has been an interesting and fun year. I am so glad Beth agreed to co-captain with me. Her knowledge of how things came to be in our group helped tremendously when the Board was working with many of the issues. We are looking forward to working with the incoming Board Members.

Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season.

Kathie and Beth
