KLGA-18

SUBMITTED BY GABRIELA FELLOWS

On December 8, KLGA18s held their Holiday Luncheon and Meeting in the beautifully decorated
Riverview Room. Our ladies mingled and celebrated the 2021 season before enjoying a delicious lunch
and season’s end awards.
This year’s President, Debbie Argy, lead the group through the last official meeting of the year,
thanking our members, board members, and pro staff for a successful season.

Here are some highlights:
Debbie recognized the great job the pros- Loren White, Todd Gantt, and Miles Chapman - did
running the Wednesday playdays as they assumed responsibilities for pairings and scoring
The membership was informed that James Paige is planning a ladies’ golf trip for March 2022,
based on feedback on the 2021 survey.

Ronnie Matthews, the Treasurer, highlighted the generous donations made to various charitable
causes KLGA18s supports, amounting to a grand total of $4,526
Debbie asked the Executive Board and Committee Chairs to step forward to be recognized with a

personal gift and words of appreciation for their time and dedication to KLGA18’s
Alice Whitechurch awarded our “Ringers” their checks, which she tallies throughout the season
Mimi Taylor highlighted weekly play, with particular mention that of 36 ladies playing regularly, 33
won at least one time this season. The highest money winners were Ann Soukup followed by
Suzanne Sweeney. She also mentioned a KLGA18s season classic - the Star Wars Tournament -
which is played in an adapted Solheim Cup format. This year’s winner was the Sirius Team
Charlotte McGinnis reported that Karen Levy was our most prolific golfer with 108 rounds, followed
by Linda Rein with 102 rounds and Mimi Taylor with 88 rounds. The most improved golfer award
went to Karen Levy, whose handicap went from 23 to 18!
1st VP Gabriela Fellows said some words of appreciation for this year’s President, Debbie Argy,
whose vision to ensure the group’s inclusivity and recognition that golf is a lifelong sport was of
great impact. The membership gave Debbie a gift of appreciation.
The new slate of officers for the 2022 season were installed.

The gathering ended with Linda Rein and Barbara Hain thanking Debbie for all she accomplished in

the 2021 season. They mentioned some anchor dates of 2/2 Board meeting, 3/16 Opening Coffee, 3/30
Green Tee Open and 6/4 Member/Guest (which will be on a Saturday in 2022!) and expressed
excitement for the upcoming 2022 season.

Stay warm, stay dry, stay in touch and stay (or get) flexible. The 2022 season countdown is on!
