I seem to recall being told that June was the rainy month, but I guess things change. The PALGA Ladies battled with 'Mother” throughout the month - sometimes we won sometimes we lost. We put up a good fight in the first week, but Mother Nature asserted her authority and after a few holes gave up to torrential rains, but not before Sue Haynes got Closest to the Pin on #4. Rain threatened again for the second week but held off until we were able to finish our game of Low Net Strokeplay Partner Matchplay. Sue Haynes and Beverly Forte emerged winners with a 3 & 2 advantage. Even with the oppressive humidity, the ladies couldn't be beat as Bev Chipped-in on #3 and Sue had a Chip-in Par on #5 then continued with a Birdie on #12. Sue finished with a gross score of 87! Way to go Sue!! Josie Milwit did her thing and won the 9-Hole Matchplay with 1 up advantage. Yeah Josie! Next week was another 'iffy' morning with thunderstorms threatening at the Palms, but the sun came out and we played a 'Partner Best Ball Matchplay' at 8:00 and a 'Putts for Dough” challenge for the 9- Holers. Sue Haynes and Janet Arnold were the winners of the Matchplay with a 3 & 2 advantage. Josie Milwit rolled them in to win the putts competition with a low 18. Nice playing ladies. Mid-month found the Ladies on the Cypress where one group played the new advanced orange tees and the other played the regular red. Another fabulous Palga golf day as a 'Low Net Best Ball' game had Terry Garcia-Mendoza, Lynn Scibek and Teresa Cherup winning with a net score of 62. Beverly Forte brought her 'A-Game' having Chip-ins on #5 and on #14. Fine shooting there! The 9-Hole Ladies also played a Scramble scoring 41. Well played Judy Cohen, Josie Milwit and Barbara Holmes. Not to overlook - Congratulations to Terry Garcia-Mendoza for taking the Closest to the Pin on #4 The last week of the month proved to be a bit of continued on page 31 > 27 Claude Belanger 15 Years.Palm Aire Resident NO Broker Fees CONTACT ME (954) 270-8023 I can Buy Your Place Cash in 30 Days!
