The MountainView/Preserve Ladies Niners hosted this year’s successful Robson Challenge this March with the Robson Challenge trophy remaining here at MountainView/Preserve again this year!
Every year qualifying teams from each Robson Community come together for an event full of fun, great golf and food. Many golfers were heard saying, “Getting to know the ladies from our sister communities is the important thing but the competition is very stiff!”

Taking first place, the Preserve Team: Linda Rouse, Kathy Schoenwetter, Joyce Sutay, Laura Walsh, Pat Steffens, Shirley Miller, Carol Thompson, Ilene Skinner, Maureen Borland, Holly Riviere and Club Pro Ken Steinke.
In second place, the MountainView Team: Susan Elliott, Sue Staker, Kay Tomaszek, Deb Bunker, Becky Fisher, Linda Miles, Raye Cobb, Karyle Steele, Sandy Barney, Pat Mersy and Club Pro Mike Jahaske.
