November 5, 2014, found 44 MountainView Lady Putters on the road traveling to Green Valley for a putting event hosted by the Quail Creek Putters. This event is always filled to capacity as the Quail Creek Putters are such terrific hostesses. Friendships between putting group members have been formed and everyone looks forward to seeing each other at our semi-annual events which are held in the spring on the MountainView Course and in the fall on the Quail Creek Course.
It was a beautiful fall day and a superb lunch was served in the Quail Creek Clubhouse following the putting. During the luncheon awards were given to MountainView Putters Maude Ruffin, Mary Beth Snyder, Carol Ratza, Ruth Catalinotto, Roberta Wisniewski and Bonnie Cook along with their counterparts from the Quail Creek Putters for a two team first place tie. Other top honors go to MVLP Janet Parker who garnered awards for the Money Hole and most Holes-in-One (five)! Well done, Janet.
Our monthly MVLP luncheon was held on November 10, 2014, with each table beautifully decorated with linens in fall colors and centerpieces of wheat intermixed with yellow and orange mums. Following a delicious lunch the following putters received trophies for their outstanding play during October:
Roadrunner Award (low gross score): Kay Tomaszek with 36.5
Lou Ann Garvin Tiger Award (low net score): Mary Beth Snyder with 31.6
Hole in Wonders:
Six: Mary Beth Snyder, Caroline Johnson, Pat Wells and Ginny Jackson
Five: Diane Steele
Four: Melody Branstrom
