LALGA By Lydia Fichtman The LALGA is looking for new members. If you are concerned about playing with the league, don’t be. This group is incredibly welcoming and is all about having fun. No one is on the LPGA Tour so there is no need to worry about being a scratch golfer. If you would like to try playing with the 18-hole league there is no obligation to join. Meet the incredible women involved with the league and play two rounds for free. Come out and enjoy the camaraderie and sportsmanship! Keep an eye out for a special blueprint from Kim Kutsch on how to speed up play and what is proper etiquette on the course. It should be coming out this month. Remember to hydrate out there! The summer in Florida is brutally hot! Have fun and see you on the links! Spotlight on Dianne Holman: Dianne grew up all over as her father was a career U.S. Army soldier. She spent most of her youth in Augusta, Georgia and, as her parents had annual passes to the Masters, she went yearly. She has six decades of Masters badges showcased on her lanai. She followed the golfers and “took for granted” her ability to walk the course. Dianne graduated from Butler High School and earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Georgia Southern University in Health and Physical Education. She taught P.E. & Health and coached for 14 years in junior high school. She added school guidance counselor to her Masters from the University of Georgia & West Georgia University for her remaining 21 years in elementary and high schools. After retirement, Dianne became a Realtor for five years. Dianne has two daughters and eight grandchildren. Twenty-four years ago Dianne met Lee while coaching him on tennis. They obviously “hit it off” and were married. They are affectionately known as Lolli and Pop to the grandkids. Dianne and Lee originally were “birds” and moved onto Dunmore in 2017. In 2018, they decided to build on Pebble Beach and retire full-time to Lake Ashton. Unfortunately, Lee became ill and they stayed in Georgia until 2020 when they returned to their Lake Ashton home and sold their lake house in Georgia. Dianne is very athletic and plays pickleball, tennis and golf. She only started playing golf 15 years ago after retiring from education. She also loves water skiing. Dianne and Lee love to travel and cruise and have two cruises already booked for the future. They are members of the Corvette Club and are also professional barbecue judges for four different barbecue associations. According to Lee, Dianne is the “Best Caregiver and his Guardian Angel.” Welcome Dianne to Lake Ashton and the LALGA!
