It was a beautiful Fall morning at Greendale today. We gathered at 7 a.m. for breakfast in the dark 🌚 and teed off just as the sun peeked through the beautiful fall trees. Thank you to those who helped set up, provided the food, and shuttled clubs from the parking lot to the carts.
Highlight of the day was a Hole in One on Hole 6 by Kyong Yi! Congratulations Kyong!
Winners included Dawn Gordon, Ann McClung, Margaret Melady and Lucinda Audey.

The golf swap was a huge success. Lots of nice golf shirts, shorts, skorts, vests, jackets and golf shoes were taken home and we donated a lot to The First Tee program. Thanks to all, I think everyone got to take home something useful!
Revised Bylaws were passed and will be posted soon. The goal was to move procedural details to the Member Handbook so the Bylaws would no longer need continual revisions.

GWGA golfers, the GWGA luncheon at Laurel Hill Golf Course, was a terrific luncheon. There were door prizes galore, election of new Board for 2024 and the food was yummy.

2024 GWGA Golf Swap: Sue Edwards will be organizing a Golf Swap at our Spring 2024 meeting. Items donated must be in clean and good condition. NO golf clubs, please. At the Spring meeting, items will be placed on tables. Everyone who contributes will be given the opportunity to go through the line and pick one item, and once everyone has done so, members may go back and take whatever else remains. No money will exchange hands as it is a swap. Items remaining may be reclaimed by the owner or be donated to First Tee. So keep the Swap in mind as you clean out your closets and garage this winter and spring. If you can help with the swap, please contact Sue.
Congratulations to new and continuing Board Members, listed here.
