GOLF Mississippi State University where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Economics and later a Master's Degree from the University of Arkansas. Although she trained as a teacher she chose to move to Arkansas and work for the LALGA By Lydia Fichtman The LALGA is looking forward to some really entertaining events in July. July 5 will be a 5-club game. That’s right, you choose any 5 clubs from your bag, including your putter, and those are the clubs with which you will play. There will no doubt be plenty of laughs. Pick your partner! The following week is a new tournament “Christmas in July” held on July 11-12. Find your holiday decorations and embellish your golf cart. Unearth those delightful t-shirts that you wear in December and dress for fun. After the July 11 game there will be a holiday luncheon at the Nest. The league is looking forward to a wonderful summer and with that have given LALGA members the opportunity to play only 9-holes. On Tuesdays, during league time, if a member chooses to play 9 holes they may. They will not be charged the $3 fee but will be eligible for birdies and chip-ins (as long as they have paid their $.25). The player may also put their score in the GHIN. The sign-up sheet for 9-holes will be on the LALGA bulletin board. Just a reminder to always drink plenty of water. See you on the course. Meet Beverly Hines Bev Hines was brought up in Kosciusko, Mississippi. After high school, she attended Mississippi State College for Women for two yea r s t hen t r ans f e r red t o 26 Cooperative Extension Service as a 4-H Youth Specialist. It is in Arkansas where she met her husband Doug. They were married in 1976. Although they built a house in Benton, Arkansas in 2004, they only lived in it for one year. The year after they built it, they purchased a motor home and started traveling the country. They ended up returning home once a year to check on their home until they sold it in 2015. While staying at the Deer Creek RV Resort in Davenport, FL during the past two winters, they started looking for a permanent home. They found what they were looking for at Lake Ashton, purchased a house only 6 weeks ago and sold the motor home. Bev and Doug's main hobby is golfing. However, Bev also has a passion for playing pickleball. Being adventurous, Bev and Doug have enjoyed many activities in their life together including scuba diving, backpacking, kayaking, snow skiing, competitive shooting (trap and skeet), and off-roading in a Jeep. Both were competitive water skiers from 1978-1992. Since moving to Lake Ashton Beverly has also started bowling again. In Beverly’s own words, “I love the Lake Ashton Community and the people. Everyone I have met in the LALGA has been so friendly and welcoming. I am enjoying getting to know the ladies and playing some challenging golf.” All of us are excited to have Beverly as part of the league. LA NINERS By Marti Schmidt Summer continues to heat up, so Pace-of-Play will be a hot topic! Keep up with the group AHEAD of you. Ready Golf is always the preferred method of play. Think about the club/s you will be using next, so when you put the last club back in your bag, grab the next one/s. If your ball is directly in front of the cup, don’t mark it — hole out! Speaking of heat, remember to keep cold water and/or ice in your cart when you play. Both are available outside the Pro Shop. (continued on p. 28)
