writing group Patricia oversees weekly at her
home in Paso Robles; she has edited the first two
Lucas Lightfoot books.
“Hugo develops the story and does the first
rewrite based on what the group says,” Patricia
said. “His focus and dedication is amazing; he’s
tireless. Anything he hasn’t known about writing
or publishing, he learns. Hugo is persistent and
Luke is just marvelous.”
Meet Hugo on Tuesday, Nov. 8 when he gives
a presentation on writing and publishing, geared
towards adult authors, at the NightWriters general

Local Women’s Golf Club SCORES BIG
for PRHS Girls Golf Team
The Paso Robles Women’s Golf Club (PRW-
GC) has in the past two years made assisting the
Paso Robles High School Girls Golf Team a major
focus of its annual Invitational Tournament.
In 2014, the governing Board of the PRWGC
adopted a policy to donate any profits derived
from the Invitational to the PRHS Girls Golf
program. The Women’s Club contributed $750
to the program in 2015 from the excess revenues
stemming from the annual Tournament.
After experiencing success in 2015, the PR-
WGC made an even greater effort to increase
the funding to the PRHS Girls Golf Team this
year. In order to keep entry fees affordable, the
Club sought tee sponsors to help raise money.
Additionally, with a tremendous amount of help
from the Paso Robles Golf Club in providing tee
prize monies and significant prize money for the
playing contestants, the amount they were able to
donate to the PRHS Girls Golf Team increased
substantially.
Other courses played a part in the success as well.
Many local golf courses donated rounds of golf
which they were able to raffle raising even more
funds. “And a big thank you to all those ‘bag boys’
who helped load the clubs on the golf carts and guides
our entrants to the activities,” said PRWGC member
Sharon Ross. “You were terrific and provided a
welcoming first impression. Then last, but certainly
not least, we thank and are so very grateful to all the
local merchants and businesses that sponsored tees.
“All this awe-inspiring support resulted in success
and a donation of $2,000 to be presented to the
Paso Robles High School Girls Golf Team!
“Suffice it to say that without the help of the
Paso Robles Golf Club and all of the marvelous
staff members we could not have enticed so
many players. The event included a practice day
on May 5th at a very nominal price extended to
all Invitational entrants, followed by a cocktail
and appetizer welcome party that evening. And
even with Mother’s Day occurring on May 8th,

we were still able to attract 81 lady golfers.
“So start preparing for next year’s event, May
5, 2017. The PRWGC along with the Paso
Robles Golf Club is poised to host another fantastic
event next year.
“We would like to fill the field next year and
with Cinco de Mayo our theme for 2017, get
ready for some real fun,” Ross concluded. Check
