GOLF LALGA By Lydia Fichtman As members leave for the summer the LALGA will miss you and will look forward to your return in the fall. As the league continues through the summer, the league has some fun and new events planned. Mark your calendars for June 24! The LALGA will sponsor a Nine, Wine and Dine event. The nine hole scramble will be held on a Friday at 4 pm and will be open to all members of the Golf Club. Only 20 foursomes will be permitted as dinner will be held in the Nest afterwards. There will be hors d’oeuvres, finger foods and 5 wines to taste. More info to follow. On July 11 and 12, a Christmas in July tournament will be held. Wear your favorite “cool” Holiday clothes and come out to play and lunch. Again, more information will be available in late June. Look for a blast or at the bulletin board for more info.

See you on the course! Meet Barbara Reid Barb, a mother of two and grandmother of three, hails from Alberta, Canada although she lived her entire life in Manitoba until 2 years ago when she and her husband moved to be closer to their family living in Banff. Barb graduated from college as a Medical Laboratory Technologist and after college married Darrell Reid, whom she knew from high school. They just celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary. After marrying, Barb and Darrell owned a Petro Canada station and later a Dairy Queen where they worked side by side. She continued to practice in the lab as well, and was an elected official on the school board for nine years. After renting in Lake Ashton several times before retiring in 2011, Barb and Darrell decided to take the plunge and buy a home in this beautiful community. In 2013 they moved onto Nicklaus Drive. Barb loves “living in a resort” and has never regretted for a moment their decision to own in LA. According to Barb, she “loves the league, the camaraderie of the golf groups, and the amenities” of Lake Ashton. She finds it very easy to meet people through the league and in the community. Besides golf, Barb enjoys working out, walking, reading and running. During the Pandemic, she learned how to knit and makes “touques” (baby caps) for the newborn babies of the local hospital. Thank you Barb for being a part of this amazing group of women!
