Mary Benkert Wins!

Congratulations to Mary Benkert who won the Memorial Weekend Classic this weekend at Coldwater Golf Club. It was a 3-day event with a small but competitive (and fun) field. Mary played consistently well, with a 73-73-74.
Also in the tournament, Nancy Walter bulldogged overall low net with a 68-69-71.
Susan Browning and Stacey Sanford tied for 2nd low net.
Kelly and Anni are enjoying their honorable-mention golf towels. Kelly was 2nd gross with a very consistent 75 on each day. Anni woke up Sunday and shot a 76.
Great weather and great friends made the weekend that much more fun! Nice playing, girls!

Congrats to Kelly (yes AGAIN!)

Kelly Hollister had a fairly busy May. In early May, she competed in the AWGA's State Match Play Championship at Gold Canyon. In the Senior Championship division, she finished 2nd to an always-tough Nicole Tombs, losing on the 18th hole. For more results, click here. From there, Kelly travelled to Daytona, FL to compete in the National Junior College Golf Championships. In case you didn't know, our little Kelly is a freshman this year at Gateway Community College. She was a welcome addition to the golf team there, not only for her "game," but also for her wisdom, character and leadership. In the championship, Kelly competed well -- finishing 36th in a tough field and a long course.

Just think.... in the Fall, she played in the US Senior Women's Amateur -- to Spring, when Kelly played in the NJCAA Golf Championship. And in between, there was much more golf -- (I won't repeat it... see this blog)! Congrats Kelly!
