October Highlights

BY DONNA AARONS FORE-TEE NINERS 2024 CAPTAIN

October flew by in the blink of an eye! Early rains made play a bit challenging for our 9-hole ladies, but spirits stayed high. The Rubber Ducky Award for braving the wet conditions on October 2nd went to Donna Aarons, Rhonda Craig, Jennie Fuller, and Dora Shoemaker—they wore their pink, faced the rain, and enjoyed having the River Course all to themselves!

Our big alternate shot winners on Oct 9 were Kathy Cockayne and Jennie Fuller, followed by Patty Kooyman and Rosemarie Kellar in second place.

With the pro adding a surprise hole on Oct 16, Dora Shoemaker came out on top, with Kathy Cockayne in second and Donna Aarons in third.

Everyone looked vibrant in orange—our “power color”—for the stroke play event on Oct 23. Congratulations to Kathy Cockayne (1st), Anne Weisenberg (2nd), Donna Aarons (3rd), and Shannon Hagen (4th).

We wrapped up the month with a festive Halloween Party, hosted by Jackie Katzakian and Anne Weisenberg. Patty Kooyman won Closest to the Pin on 8 Vineyard, and our alternate shot teams of Shannon Hagen & Nancy Little, Cathy Maciel & Melissa Krebill, and Julie Scorpazzi & Dora Shoemaker claimed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, respectively.

As we move into cooler weather, we’re looking forward to more fun games and our Thanksgiving Party on Nov 20.

If you enjoy golf for fun and friendship, join us on Thursday mornings for a mix of games and stroke play.

Hope to see you out there!
