What a fabulous Rodeo at the Ranch for the Ranchette Putters! The course was buzzing with energy as members and guests enjoyed a themed day of golf, games, and good company.
A huge thank-you goes to Terri Menning and the amazing Events Committee for putting together such a fun and successful event. From the western touches to the smooth organization, every detail helped create a memorable day on the putting green.
A special highlight was welcoming the SaddleBrooke Verde Sputters, who came out to join the tournament. The friendly rivalry, shared laughs, and sportsmanship on display made it feel like a true community celebration. With beautiful weather, spirited competition, and smiles all around, it was everything a “Rodeo at the Ranch” should be.
The event wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of the entire committee. Their planning, creativity, and behind-the-scenes effort shone through from start to finish—you ladies truly knocked it out of the park.
