May was jammed with events and great weather; it truly feels like our golf season has officially begun! Our 9 Hole Tuesday League and 18 Hole Thursday League are well under way. Pease remember, you may jump in and join these leagues at any point in the season. Whenever you are available on Tuesday evening or Thursday morning, please feel welcome to sign up.

Our Traveling Team participated in their first competing May 15th at North Oaks Country Club. The first event proved to be a challenge, as we are in last place. The ladies are confident we will turn the tables at Midland Hills, Friday, June 12th. If you are interested in playing in this event, please contact Dori Martinez.

The ladies took 3rd place in the Challenge on May 21st, also hosted by North Oaks CC. They enjoyed a beautiful day and the course was in great shape.

The City League is off to a good start.  They played at Edina Country Club on May 22nd.  They garnered 20 points which puts them just below middle of the pack. Wendy Benson played first position and shot an 87, which was stellar as Edina CC  played quite difficult. Judy Kishel and Kathleen Callahan played in third and second positions respectively.  They were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the golf!
