The gals of SaddleBrooke Ranch Women’s Golf Association (SBRWGA) are swinging their way into fall and enjoying every minute.
Our annual Updegraff Cup was held on Sept. 8 and 9. This match play tournament is played annually in honor of Dr. Ed Updegraff, a longtime resident of SaddleBrooke Ranch and a big supporter of our league.
On the 5th of September competitors met on the Event Patio to learn whether they would be members of the “Pink Team” or the “Blue Team.” Teams were announced by Pink co-captains, Jeanne Osterlund and Monika Bartko, and Blue co-captains, Mary Hoover and Brenda Armenia. The captains did an excellent job picking teams and matching opponents and the match play competition was keen. With 15 matches each day (1 singles match and 14 doubles) the Blue Team won the CUP 16.5 to 13.5. Congratulations Blue!
Our Closest to the Pin Winners on day 1 were: #2—Michelle Carter, #5—Alex Anna, #12—Arlene Fleming, and #14—Lynette Netherland. On day 2, winners were: #2—Carol Mihal, #5—Diane Coughlin, #12—Arlene Fleming, and #14—Kathy Anderson. During the tournament four gals recorded chip-ins: Ingrid McManus on #1, Marianne Smyth, also on #1, Kathi Dyer on #5, and Jeanne Jensen on #7. Congratulations to all.
In addition to tournaments, our league day committee has kept us on our toes with fun weekly competitions.
