It’s that time of year again: Ladies’ Night at Chinook Cove. Everyone went out on the course with high expectations just to play what they normally play. There seems to be a trend among our female 18-hole golfers. That they all play better on their back nines, aka the non-ladies’ night round. But enough chatting, let’s get the wine out and get ready for the results!
Hole 1: KP in 3, flight 1 goes to Karen Peterson. KP in 3, flight 2, was not picked up this evening.
Hole 2: Long ride, flight 3 goes to Emma Schilling. Long ride, flight 4 goes to Linda Dunlop.
Hole 3: We painted an accuracy line on hole 3 and the lady with the highest accuracy was Kristin O’Connor from flight 3.
Hole 4: There were two ladies who earned a KP on hole 4. Donna Salle from flight 1 earned a KP and Emma Schilling from flight 3 earned a KP.
Hole 5: The long putt, split between flights 1 and 2, goes to Marian Wallace from flight 1. The long putt, split between flights 3 and 4, goes to Kayla Mosdell from flight 4.
Hole 6: Only one lady managed a KP on hole 6! That must have been the most difficult hole today. That lady was Laurie Hawley.

Golf jargon for this week:
What is a platypus in golf?
(PLAT · I · PUHS) noun. When a player hits his golf ball out of bounds and still makes par. Since platypuses are a rare species, this rare occurrence was named after this name.
Quote of the week: From the three-time major winner in professional golf, Nancy Marie Lopez: “Do your best, one shot at a time, and then keep going. Remember, golf is just a game.”
