46 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2011</strong> MEMBERS, EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES<br />
By VERA COOKE<br />
AND JAN HOEDEBECKE<br />
League Co-Chairs<br />
<strong>The</strong> 18-hole ladies’ golf league,<br />
the Eagle I’s, ended our season<br />
with a glorious day on <strong>The</strong><br />
General on Tuesday, Oct. 4, followed<br />
by our annual Awards event.<br />
We reminisced about our time on<br />
the links in rain, wind, heat and<br />
bugs. But most of all, we remembered<br />
the best days, with the best<br />
weather, and our best shots, on<br />
some of the most beautiful courses<br />
in the area.<br />
Speaking of best shots, what’s<br />
an awards’ event without awards!<br />
Every player who shot a birdie<br />
sometime during the season was<br />
rewarded with a special birdie<br />
pin. Joan Harvieux won the Most<br />
Improved player for the season,<br />
and Kathy Oczak cleaned up by<br />
winning the best low net AND<br />
the best low gross score on select<br />
play dates. Kathy also won the<br />
league’s Match Play competition.<br />
Congratulations everyone!<br />
We would like to take this opportunity<br />
to thank Eagle Ridge’s<br />
golf pros, Matt Romer, Michael<br />
Stewart, Dan Schrieber and Doug<br />
Even, along with their respective<br />
<strong>Territory</strong> Times<br />
course teams, for making our golf<br />
season so pleasant. Also, special<br />
thanks to Terry Sheridan and his<br />
team at Spikes for the excellent<br />
service and accommodations for<br />
our Tuesday after-golf sessions.<br />
This concludes our two-year<br />
term as co-chairs of the Eagle I’s.<br />
We enjoyed the new games we<br />
brought to the league (well, most<br />
of them at least); the new events<br />
we introduced, including the Tee-<br />
Bag Invitational and Twice Around<br />
the East; but most of all, we enjoyed<br />
the friendship and camaraderie<br />
of our fellow golfers. Thanks<br />
