CLUB DE BONMONT WOMEN’S
GOLF ASSOCIATION
We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday
season, but now that the holidays are over, it’s time for
some great golf events. Our President’s Cup will be held
January 17 and January 24, followed by our League
Championship, February 21 and February 28. On March
14 we will have a Dog & Cat Fight, open to all men who
are golf members of Plantation Bay (whether or not they
belong to the Prestwick or CDB men’s league). It’ll be a
fun match-play tournament, and everyone will be asked to
bring a donation for our furry friends---dog or cat food,
toys, kitty litter, or old towels. The Member/Member
tournament rounds out the quarter with play on March 21
and March 28. This is always our biggest event and we
look forward to another great turnout.
Our WPC, Seagals and VIP teams have been
representing the CDBWGA and Plantation Bay well, and
we want to cheer them on as they continue to compete for
fun and glory!
Kathy Light, our resident USGA Rules Official, will
conduct a rules clinic after the first round of play in the
President’s Cup on January 17. Kathy always does a great
job of helping us play the game the way it should be played.
This is an event you don’t want to miss!
We have a great golf season ahead of us, so come join
us on Thursdays!

PRESTWICK WOMEN’S
GOLF ASSOCIATION
The Prestwick Women's Golf Association has a packed
Fall season coming up. It has been great to welcome back
our traveling members from their summer vacations and get
all of the golf events going in full swing. (No pun intended)
November tournaments include inviting CDB WGA
members for a FUN DAY on the 13th. Our
member/member tournament encourages ladies to choose a
partner within 12 strokes handicap to play 9 holes alternate
shot and 9 holes scramble on the first day, November 27th.
The following Tuesday we will play better ball of the
partners. December's main event is the Holiday Scramble
hosted by the Niners. Players will be member billed $300
each. New Years Day falls on a Tuesday, so for the first time
we will be offering our die hard golfers to play a Shamble
with a twist which we are calling Hangover Helper. The
last Tuesday in January is our Pauli Waddle Tournament
and Social which celebrates the league that our founder
Pauli began and honors her love of animals with fund
raising efforts being contributed to the Flagler Humane
Society. This will be a shotgun at 12:30, net best ball of the
foursome with the Pro Shop creating the pairings. The
tournament will be followed by hors d'oeuvres and cash bar.
We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and Joyous
Holiday Season
Fran Sampson, President
PLANTATION BAY NINERS
Happy New Year to everyone and we wish you a Happy
& Healthy 2013.
The last few months of 2012 have been very busy. Our
Hubby/Friend scramble was on November 1st. We had a
great crowd at CDB. First place winners were Sheila and
Brian Egan and Betty and Bob Rossi. Congratulations and
thanks to all the folks who came out and enjoyed the event.
We also raised some funds through our raffle to support the
Red Cross and their efforts to help those who were
impacted by Hurricane Sandy in the North East. We
extend a big thank you to Ulrika for her ongoing support
and Maria Kesselring and Bernice Stamford for putting it
all together.
Our Cookie Luncheon was held in December and the
dozens of cookies were given to St. Anne’s Pantry to
support the needy in Bunnell and Flagler counties. Thank
you to all the bakers. Linda Young and Katie Kuhn deserve
special recognition for once again organizing this wonderful
Holiday effort.
We are looking forward to a fun and busy winter with
our regular play on Tuesdays at Prestwick and Thursdays at
Club de Bonmont. On February 14th, we look forward to
the Coastal Niners Invitational at the The Grand Club.
On March 11th Palm Harbor will host the Coastal Niners
Invitational. We also have our Member Guest at Prestwick
on March 20th and our Member at CDB in April. We will
wrap up our season with our last away game on April 24th
at Hammock Dunes. Be sure to mark your calendars!
Please join us! We welcome new members and we now
have a recruitment chair, Maureen Ford. Come out for nine
holes with the Niners or just come to lunch to meet the
ladies and share in the fun. All levels of golfers, beginning,
intermediate and advanced are welcome. Please contact
Maureen or me for information.

Happy New Year to all our members and their families
and a special welcome to our new members.
We remember all those affected by hurricane Sandy last
October and wish all a speedy recovery from their loss.
We trust all have had a joyous holiday and look forward
to a mild winter with as little need for woolen hats and gloves,
as shadows grow shorter and we look forward to spring.
Get ready for some great away tournaments in 2013 as
well as our usual great special events. As always we look
forward to each Thursday with our diversified array of
competition to make play fun and interesting.
So, now that the snow birds are back, let’s all get together
and re-establish our friendships and support the club at the
same time. Of course, Free Beer Thursday will continue this
year on the third Thursday of every month.
Looking forward to seeing new and old members in 2013
and again to all a happy healthy New Year.
