GOLF LALGA By Lydia Fichtman All aboard was the theme of this year’s MemberMember Golf Tournament, held on February 13 and 14. Congratulations to all the winners and of course, a great big thank you to Liz Leigh and Trish Keller for organizing the 2-day event. Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves! February also hosted Beat the Pros. Matt and Ian, as always, did not disappoint. They played exceptionally well as did the members of the LALGA. How much fun was it to play with the Pros? We Care For Kids created 40 hygiene kits, with 20 donated to Lake Wales High School and 20 to Winter Haven High School. From Nancy Zografos: “I want to thank all the girls for the donations. It will make a lot of kids very happy.” And again, thank you to Nancy for continuing to help our communities. Mark your calendars for March 28-29. The LALGA and the LAMGA will be golfing together. It should be a great time. The Pink Ribbon committee would like to thank the following Silver Sponsors for their support: Beauty by Anais, Citizens Bank, Dr. Kevin Henne, Matt Simpson, and Turner Furniture.

She began her college studies in Alabama and finished up in Georgia. She holds multiple educational degrees and taught Middle School English in Georgia. Sandra met Tim on Valentine’s Day 2003. In 2010, Sandra retired and took up golf. Since Tim enjoyed golf, Sandra wanted to learn as well and took lessons. The two joined Canongate Golf that was later purchased by Club Corp which enabled them to play golf all over the country and the world. She also played in many different women’s leagues in Georgia and West Virginia. Although they still own a home in West Virginia, Tim’s birthplace, the two wanted to spend the winters in Florida. They searched in many different communities with golf courses before they drove through the front entrance of Lake Ashton and decided they were home. They bought a home on Aberdeen and settled in. Sandra joined the LALGA so that she could play golf. She is also a member of the Polk County Women’s Association. Sandra enjoys crafting. She does embroidery, quilting, scrapbooking, and painting. The LALGA is excited that Sandra has moved to LA. Welcome! LAKE ASHTON WOMEN’S INTERCLUB GOLF TEAM 2023 Eight women were members of our first Lake Ashton Women’s Interclub Golf Team which competed for a 6 week season against three other clubs in our area: Grasslands, Riverhills, and Eaglebrooke. There were three home matches and three away matches. Although we did not qualify for the playoff, it was a fun and challenging net competition. Women were required to play the white tees since it was necessary to meet the 4700 yardage requirement. Due to the positive experience, Liz Leigh (Captain) plans to field a team again next year.
