GOLF LALGA By Lydia Fichtman The LALGA finished out the month of June with an amazing Nine, Wine and Dine event. The nine-hole scramble, which turned out to be a three-hole scramble due to extreme weather conditions, really went off without a hitch. A huge shout out to Vicki Moore and the girls from the Nest who worked tirelessly to see that everyone had enough wine and food during the event. A special thanks to Mary Lou Wheat and Lydia Fichtman for organizing the event and having the tough job of taste testing the wines before they were ordered. Brandi Barrett from Johnson Brothers in Tampa brought plenty of delicious wine to sample. Thank you Brandi! Due to its popularity the league will run a Mulligan and Martini Party at the end of September. Keep an eye out for further information. July’s games of “5” club and the “Christmas in July” tournament were sensational. What a way to spend those dog days of summer! Thanks to Jackie Tressler and Tassy D’Angelo for their help with the tournament. The holiday luncheon of turkey croissants with caprese salad and a brownie dessert were delicious. A shout out to Vicki Moore, Sandra and the girls from the Eagle’s Nest for making the event very festive. Thank you to Ian and Matt for their help from the clubhouse. And, finally, a special thanks to Mary Lou Wheat and Lydia Fichtman for organizing this summer tournament. Congratulations to all the winners! The Red Hoagland Challenge is running strong and the current front runners are: 1st Place -“T” Utting $53.25, 2nd Place - Patti Panone $44.00, 3rd Place - Dawn Neigh $43.00 and 4th Place - Beverly Hines $42.75. This challenge is open to everyone! Meet Patti Adame Patti, the oldest of seven, comes from Central Illinois, the Starved Rock area. She attended weekend college at 26 North Central in Naperville while working full time. She holds a degree in accounting, and at her job in St. Louis, met her mate of 23 years, Jeff. Jeff and Patti wintered in Lake Placid, Florida from 2016 to 2018 and decided in 2018 to purchase a home in Lake Ashton, still as snowbirds. In 2020, they moved to Lake Ashton full time, due to the incredible amenities offered them here in the community. Patti has been tinkering at golf since her twenties and originally joined the Niners because she is still working part time. After cutting back on her hours, she wanted to play more golf, so she became a member of the LALGA. How does she feel about the league? “It is awesome!” Patti, welcome to the LALGA! LA NINERS By Marti Schmidt The Niners partnered with The B l ueman Group ( not t he musicians – the GOLFERS) Tuesday and Wednesday July 5-6 for a 4-Person scramble Par-3 ringer tournament with lunch on Wednesday. It was a BIG hit! Even with the summer heat upon us, there was a great turn-out and many comments about “Let’s do it again!” During the first day of the tournament, we also had an exciting event: HOLE-IN-ONE! Congratulations Janet Luke for a Hole-In-One on 12 West, which helped her team tie for first place in the first flight with a score of 48. Winners in the second flight scored 50. Par is 54 — way to go! The Senior Orphan donation of cleaning supplies was delivered to them July 1st and we already received a note back that most supplies have been distributed.
