SBRWGA in Love with Golf

SBRWGA Sadie Hawkins Tournament

SBRWGA Member-Member Golf Tournament

Patti Jo Lewis

The SaddleBrooke Ranch Women’s Golf Association (SBRWGA) is loving golf! Here’s a recap of recent autumn events.

Take Sadie Out to the Ballgame

The annual Sadie Hawkins Tournament was held on Sept. 3 with a great turnout of golfers. Sadie lady golfers paired up with a male partner—as long as it was not their significant other. The theme and decorations centered around the great American pastime of baseball. Of course, lunch in the Sol Ballroom included an all-American meal: hot dog, potato salad, and apple pie a la mode.
