The beauty of 9

9H CO-CAPTAINS

The golf season is now in full swing and individual tournament events and match play are well underway. With mostly great
weather, there has been a good turnout to 9H section games. The morning shotgun in May had 21 participants in addition to
12 Social Seniors joining in for the United Kingdom featured lunch. The Afternoon section “Spanish” Shotgun attracted 44
Members who later enjoyed a marvellous Spanish Paella for dinner. In June, our section Shotguns stopped in Cyprus and
Japan.

The 9H section holds the Flo Jowsey trophy event over a 3 week period. Unfortunately, the 3rd round was postponed due
to lightening and extremely high winds. This did not stop the Members who showed up to play anyway- a determined 23
women went out into gale force winds to enjoy an evening of golf and camaraderie.

The Member Guest Day was a HUGE success with a full turnout of over 80 golfers who enjoyed great food and prizes.
Thanks to Alison Lam and Anne Raby for organizing and making it a success, once again. Of course, all the staff at Ladies’
made this an event to remember, from the Golf Shop staff to back shop, and from kitchen to clubhouse staff. A great team
effort!

The month of July has many golf and social events that we encourage all Members to attend. In particular, The PM Shotgun
on July 18, 2018 is a special one that will focus on breast cancer awareness. We would be thrilled if as many Members as
possible sign up for this great event. Wear pink, and come with a smile. This will be a fun event with on course prizes and
special games. Of course the really large pink holes will be out to help the putting seem so much easier!
Ladies’ Golf club is hosting the 9H Tri Club Trophy event against Thornhill and Rosedale in July. Who will win this year?
Pace of play is always important to keep in mind. In our non-competitive games, remember the only person we are
competing against is ourselves. If you are having a bad hole, don’t frustrate yourself. Instead, pick up the ball, take the
maximum based on your handicap and relax. Remember, the LGPA is another year!
