The brisk mornings of Nov. 15 and 16 both turned into beautiful days for the ladies of the SBR Women’s Golf Association (SBRWGA) to hold their 10th annual Club Championship Tournament. Ladies 70 and older were automatically included in the Senior Club Championship bracket. Winners of the tournament were decided based on the combined gross scores over the two days of play. Forty-eight ladies participated in the tournament.

She completed the two-day tournament with a strong performance and a total gross score of 152. Jean shot 77 on the first day, and improved a bit on the second day, shooting 75. Congratulations, Jean!
