The SaddleBrooke Ranch Women’s Golf Association (SBRWGA) is excited to announce that the 2024 recipient of our most improved player award was Pilar Borm. This annual award is based on handicaps from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1 and is determined using the USGA/GHIN formula for calculating “most improved.” To be eligible, the golfer must have been a member of SBRWGA for the entire year, must have played a minimum of 12 postable rounds during league days, and must have posted a minimum of 50 scores during the year. Congratulations, Pilar, on a wonderful year of golf!
