LW Women’s Golf Club

The Leisure World Women’s Golf Club held a special tournament on Jan. 30. Results will be revealed at a later date. Play for the nine hole tournament was low gross and low net in each flight. However since this was a fifth Tuesday, the women played a special game and had to tee off from the blue tees instead of the usual red tees.

For the non-golfers, using the blue tees means the distance to the green is farther. The choice of club is important. Hole No. 1 for instance is approximately 100 yards from the blue tees and 80 yards from the red tees. That means one might need to use an eight iron instead of a nine iron. Golf 101: the higher number club, the further the ball should go.

All women in Leisure World are welcome to join the club. There is a weekly nine hole tournament on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 at the Turtle Lake Golf Course. For more information, email club President Pam Krug at pskrug62@hotmail.com or call 562-431-1257.
