On Nov. 19 the Lady 9ers hosted the Lady 18ers for a nine-hole “mystery” game, followed by a tasty lunch served in the ballroom, provided by the Horizon Room staff. It was a very cold morning, but that didn’t stop the hearty gals from getting out and having fun. A large thank you to the organizers Sharon Erickson, Margaret Wiseman, Bev Wilson, Paula Neuser, Mary Stohr, and Shirley Goldade.

The Lady 18ers kicked off their season on Nov. 5 with an 8 a.m. game called Cha Cha Cha Reverse, followed by lunch and their first general meeting. Various committee chairs provided updates and highlights for the coming season, including another Home & Home at Palo Verde on Jan. 28, 2025. The ladies had a 50/50 draw to raise funds for holiday poinsettias for the SunBird HOA office and Horizon Room. Congratulations to the winners Karen Gilmore, Collette Ellis-Toddington, and Lora Thomas.

The league has a number of fun events planned for the season, so if you like to golf, meet new people, and have fun, please join our leagues. We golf every Tuesday morning.
