MountainView/Preserve Women’s Golf Association (MPWGA) held their annual Coyote Classic Golf Event on May 7. This event was co-chaired by Dawn Roarty and Connie Maslowski and sponsored by Coyote Golf Cars (of course). More than 60 MPWGA members picked their partner to make a two-person team. Ladies checked in at The Preserve Golf Course bright and early and were presented with a gift bag full of golf swag! The weather was perfect, sunny in the 70s with a slight breeze, for the 7:30 a.m. shotgun start. Each player played her own ball, and the best net score on every hole was recorded for each team, with each member contributing at least four holes. There were also Closest-to-the-Flagstick contests for all par 3s.
At the end of the round, with the wind picking up, players were ready to head to the MountainView ballroom to drop off their scorecards and enjoy lunch while final results were being tallied to determine low net totals for flight winners. On the lunch agenda was also a business meeting of various club reports, during which time the ballroom somehow intercepted the audio from another room where clearly “singing” was in progress. So, a mysterious serenader faded in and out of the background, causing much giggling and prompting some ladies to “sing” their reports to the club. It was delightful!
Special thanks were extended to Dawn Roarty and Connie Maslowski for all their hard work in putting together a fun event, to Tracy McGeorge for securing Coyote Golf Cars’ generous sponsorship, and to our MPWGA president Brenda Creel who announced that she will eventually be moving out of state to be closer to her grandbaby.
