The SunBird Lady Niners hosted a home and home golf outing with the Sun Lakes Lady Niners. This event was held on Tuesday, February 28. After being threatened by rain, we were able to play without getting too wet (actually hardly wet at all). After golf, the ladies enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Horizon…
Tammy Bachofner Well, looks like no waiting on the golf course these days! However, it’s that time of year when those who play go out so early, I’m not sure they are really awake yet. Remember to send me your stories of golf while away. I would love to share them with all of our…
Norm Ott Two of the SunBird Men’s Golf Association annual main events were completed during March. As reported last month, John German won the Men’s Club Championship on March 2 with the lowest total two-week gross score of 137. The second main event that was played in March was the Men’s SunBird Cup Championship. The…
Here it is – April already and the end of another exceptional season! What a way to end our season! Sholiem Cup, Couples Shoot Outs and, of course, the club Championships! I am not reporting on all those events, because some are already in this very paper, while others will be in May’s paper due…

Norm Ott The weather on Sunday, March 5, was not quite typical compared to what one might expect at this time of the year. It was mostly cloudy, a little breezy and somewhat cool, but this didn’t deter 10 couples representing the SunBird Men’s and Ladies’ Golf Associations from teeing it up in the nine-hole…
The highlight event for the SunBird Men’s Golf Association, a/k/a Men’s Club, in January was the annual Match Play Challenge. In match play, rather than determining a winner by the total strokes during the 18-hole round, the winner is determined by who wins the most holes. In other words, the player with the least number…
The SunBird Lady Niners are having a great year. We currently have 75 members, 14 of whom are new members. New members are always welcome. The Lady Niners league is a good way to meet many women in SunBird, enjoy golf and make new friends. We play every Tuesday morning, November through April. The league…
Jerry Lingen When I retired as the Pro Shop Manager some six years ago, I did not think that I would ever have to meet the deadline and write a monthly report again. But, here I am. As we head into March, the last of the very, very busy months, let’s look ahead at what…
