Mardiece Patrick This year’s Dinko de Mayo Pickleball Tournament was three days of nonstop laughter, strong competition, and fun. Over 125 people competed in Women’s, Mixed, and Men’s Doubles over the three-day period. Gold, silver, and bronze medals were awarded to the top three competitors in each category. There were several three-way ties that came…
Pat Albu On April 26, 70 Ranchette Putters and their partners gathered on the putting green for a more than challenging putting contest. Not only had our wonderful (and slightly sadistic) Hospitality Committee set up a very difficult course, but we were also dealing with very strong winds! It was an afternoon we won’t soon…
Pat Albu After a busy weekend with our Friends and Family tournament, we put on our skorts on April 28 and drove the short distance to SaddleBrooke for a fun outing with the MountainView Putters (MVP). The teams were each a combination of Ranchettes and MVPs, and we had a gorgeous day to play. Those…
The SBRMGA enjoyed two days of wonderful golf, one featured ideal weather, the other was a windy beast, and 134 golfers giving it their all in pursuit of golf glory as the SaddleBrooke Ranch 2025 Member-Member champion.

The teams were an even mixture of Putters and Sputters (try saying that three times in a row!), so it wasn’t a competition between the two communities. The Sputters had set…

The first round was a scramble on the back nine under sunny skies and cool temps. Thirty-six Lady Niners participated in this team event. It was easy to recognize the two-person teams as the…

Patti Jo Lewis Club Championship: After the heavy rain on Nov. 3, the course was closed on Nov. 4 and Day One of the tournament had to be canceled. Forty-six SaddleBrooke Ranch Women’s Golf Association (SBRWGA) golfers trekked out on Day Two, with cart path only and early chilly temperatures. The sun came out and…
Pat Albu On Oct. 30, 50 Ranchette Putters went by bus (a rather raucous group, I might say) down to Quail Creek community in Green Valley for a tournament with their Putters. It was a gorgeous day, and even though their putting green seemed to be slanted downward on all sides, we had a great…
