We gathered to play the second day of our championship. A player never knows what will happen during play. Just because she played well, the first day, could be completely changed by a bad shot or two, or vice-versa, on the second. We gathered together as usual, and chatted, and then off to do battle. The prizes were beautiful crystal bowls, engraved with the award. Carol Matney awarded the prizes to the winners. This was followed by a delicious luncheon. The 2008 Championship was recorded, and we give our thanks to John Carrin and his staff. We especially commend our Champion, Sondra Rice for her outstanding score!
Our attendance was smaller than usual this morning. Tomorrow we will be joined by our "over 70" Members, whose age plus handicap must be over 100, and who will play in a special one day tournament. All members will have lunch together and enjoy the award cermony. There's still plenty of time to join us for this season. Call our President, Joan Wichman, for details on membership @ 387-3656.
The BMC Clubhouse was rocking with music from Opera (Figaro) to "New York, New York" Saturday night. A sell-out crowd enjoyed fine dining, dancing and great music. Many thanks to Connie Bowen (House Chairperson) and Ron Barrett (Clubhouse Manager) for an evening to remember.
The Beech Mountain Lady Niners celebrated their Annual Member/Guest. "In Purse-Suit of Happiness" today. Members and Guests created specially decorated purses for the event.
Each two person team could purchase two shapiros, two sandies, and two alibis. A shapiro allowed a player a choice of the result of her new or old shot. A sandy allowed a player that hit the ball in a trap to toss it out, and remain at the same score as when she went in. An alibi gave players a chance to redo the shot, but that shot replaced the first one. The Tournament was a "step aside" Scramble, where the player of the shot selected, as the best to play, was not allowed to hit the next shot. There was also a closest to the line, and a closest to the pin tournament, and all was followed by a delicious lunch at the Clubhouse dining room, followed by awarding of prizes..beautiful purses. It was a fun day for all. We thank May Dahl for taking these pictures.
