GOLF LALGA By Beverly Hines Congratulations to our Red Hoagland Challenge Winners, pictured here. The top 4 members who have earned the most prize money during the LALGA year (June 2025 through May 2026) are Nancy Zografos ($80), Joanne McKinley ($60), Carolyn Alvaro ($40), and Liz Leigh ($20). Thank you, Red Hoagland Hyundai, for your continued support. Those already in the game should do the same to update yours at least annually to maintain an accurate GHIN. The fantastic team in the Pro Shop is ready to help and will get you set up in the GHIN system. If you’re playing in the league, they will automatically enter your scores from individual game days. If you play a round outside the league or at another course, you can enter those scores yourself. Just ask someone in the Pro Shop or one of your Niner comrades and they will be happy to show you how to do it. Our Summer Pick Your Partner Tournament will be held July 6 and 7 with the theme Cruising Down the Fairway. All players will be given a cruise shirt to wear in the tournament. Lunch will be served in the Eagles Nest after play on the second day. Stay hydrated and remember for the summer, 9-hole sign up is available. LA NINERS By Pamela June The LA Niners teed off into summer with a mix of fun scrambles and individual play days with the opportunity to post scores to your Golf Handicap & Information Network (GHIN). The Niners is a welcoming and challenging women's golf league to play in that allows everyone regardless of experience to participate. The GHIN allows us to compete with a handicap that helps level the playing field, or rather the golf course. Women of all skill levels are encouraged to join, learn, compete, and, most importantly, enjoy the game. You can easily establish your GHIN by recording three rounds of 18 holes or six rounds of 9 holes. 36 Beyond the fairways, the Niners periodically meet for lunch after the last ball has landed in the cup. The Lunch with Friends on June 2 brought together a hot but happy group of golfers who were rewarded with a delectable salad bar topped with roasted chicken and all the fixings, plus fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies. Rounding off the lunch gathering was a raffle where three lucky ladies walked away with a little “birdie juice,” a sleeve of golf balls, or a Niners bag tag. Vice President Debbie Shillito is pictured above right coordinating the raffle. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just getting into the swing of things, the Niners will welcome you with open arms. To join the Niners, who play every Tuesday morning, or get more information about joining, contact Brenda Bowden at disneylvr63@yahoo.com.
