Ann Lange Sept. 1 and 3 marked the seventh odyssey around MountainView Golf Club for the Martians and Venusians from the MountainView/Preserve Men and Women’s Golf Associations (MPMGA and MPWGA). It was the third year of the new format, changing the blazing bolide battle between the Gods of War and the Goddesses of Love to…
Ann Lange Each year, the MountainView/Preserve Women’s and Men’s Golf Associations (MPWGA and MPMGA) alternate hosting the Sadie/Bubba golf event. As Feb. 18 approached, the Sadies sharpened their spikes and set out to snag ‘n bag one of those fine Brooke Bubbas from our little village in Podunk Patch. Seein’ as how there aren’t actually any…
Bob Edelblut On Nov. 11 and Nov. 14, the MountainView-Preserve Men’s Golf Association (MPMGA) held this year’s club championship.

Jim Donat As the foursome approached the fourth green at MountainView, they noticed that only three golf balls could be accounted for. Ron knew he hit a good shot but Paul Zapf, who was also in the foursome, did as well. Ron suggested to Paul that he should look in the hole for his ball.…
Jim Donat How cool is this? As the new Publicity chair for the MPMGA, I get to write about my first hole-in-one. I have been playing this game for over fifty years now. I have seen quite a few hole-in-ones, both as a caddie and as a player. I was beginning to think it would…
