LW Women’s Golf Club longs for sunny Tuesdays
Another rainy Tuesday cancelled the weekly LW Women’s Golf Club tournament on Feb. 6.
The women play a nine hole tournament every Tuesday morning at 7:30 when it’s not raining. Any Leisure World woman is welcome to be a club member. Annual dues are $25. Each tournament gives players a chance to win $1 for low gross, low net or play for the day in each flight. Every player acquires a handicap. Handicaps are figured over a number of rounds. Par for nine holes is 27.
Meetings are held quarterly. There are two luncheons throughout the year. Players do not have to be expert golfers. The Turtle Lake course is short but challenging. An example is hole No. 7. It is about 70 yards. There is a sand trap on both sides of the green. This leaves a narrow alley to get on the green. Also on the right is the lake. The water definitely comes into play. Sometimes the hole is behind the right bunker. It’s a risky reward to aim for the flag.
The club hopes Tuesday brings sunshine so the weekly tournament can happen.
