Lisa Onyx The Lady 18ers are hitting the links at 6:58 a.m. during the summer to beat the heat. SunBird Golf Club recently moved from a shotgun start to tee times every day to increase the number of players on the course. Fortunately, this hasn’t been an issue, because we are able to finish before…
Lisa Onyx One of the best reasons to golf with the Lady 18ers is the opportunity to play with people you might not otherwise meet. Not only do you learn what brought them to SunBird, but you hear some incredible stories of their past. One of our most tenured members of the Lady 18ers, Lore…
Dana Marrs, Publicity As the winter season draws to a close, the Lady 18ers celebrate our Club Champion and prepare for the 2021-22 season. Our Club Championship took place over two weeks in March. Cindy Vig won, posting a lean, emergency-free pair of scores: 71 and 71. When we look back at the women who…
Dana Marrs, Publicity The Lady 18ers are well into their 2020-21 season. We have been able to continue to golf together on Tuesdays, playing either shotgun or tee times. Our group works with our new Pro Shop Manager, Laurie Kelech, to accommodate our golfing groups while making the course available for outside play. Our weekly…
Dana Marrs In January, the Lady 18ers played the Ladies Net Shoot Out. The survivors, and therefore winners, were Elaine Friesen (third), Janet Farrell (second), and Trish Carrel (first). The two great nations of Canada and USA met in the Solheim Cup. Canadian golfers are outnumbered in SunBird, so some USA golfers were asked to…

In December, SunBird’s Lady 18ers played the Ladies Net Shoot Out, finishing under the cover of darkness. The days do get short in December. First Place finisher was Joyce Gerber, followed by Dana Marrs and Wendie Cameron. Next, we turned our thoughts to visions of sugarplums. It turns out that you can never have too…
Dana Marrs November ushered in a flurry of hole-in-ones from our group. Heather Verbitsky and Cindy Vig aced hole #8, and Becky Sargeant aced #13. Statistics say that an average handicapper will shoot a hole-in-one 1 in 12,000 times. Who’s up for checking it out? All we need is 12,000 balls and some spare time.…
Dana Marrs Our 2018-2019 golf season is active now. You can find us on the course every Tuesday morning enjoying the beautiful fairways and greens produced by fall overseeding and remarkable summer care. We play shotgun starts in foursomes arranged by our daily play organizer. The foursomes are built with handicaps in mind; our handicaps…
Tammy Bachofner The Lady 18ers are back and started our season off by “dancing on the course.” Our first game of the season was the Cha-Cha. Please check the board to see which teams managed to have the fanciest footwork with this fun game. During the month of December, we will be playing Mutt…
