Impact of Southern Arizona. SBRWGA was proud to present this tournament event on Aug. 13. We had 100+ golfers, even in the middle of this hot summer. Our residents within the Ranch participated, and at press time we had collected $5,000 for this charity. After the tournament we had a delicious lunch, followed by a fabulous raffle with proceeds donated to Impact of Southern Arizona. Golfers, residents, and sponsors donated a vast array of goodies. Look for us in the October Ranch RoundUp with photos, winners, and donation results.
What’s Next. It’s hot out there and we still have a full schedule ahead. We are always ready for Tee–Time.
* Later in August, we were scheduled to play with the MountainView/Preserve women golfers in the “Beach Bums” tournament. We looked forward to the road trip, lunch, and ice cream!
* In September we hold our annual Sadie Hawkins tournament. Sadie Ladies will find a partner who is not your spouse or the same partner as last year.
* Catalina Cup: We host the first match on Oct. 28. The Catalina Cup is a Gross and Net Match Play competition among 10 local clubs taking place between October and May. Each year at the beginning of the Catalina Cup season, a list is created from members of our league who expressed an interest in playing in these competitive events.
