Fabulous job coming in 7 under Sounds like you had a great group of ladies to play with and you had fun too.

Okay here's my story as an amateur golfer. I still live in southern California, trying to sell this darn house so I can play golf in TV. I belong to several Women's golf clubs in my area, but I wanted to join the Los Verdes women's club in Palos Verdes, it took me 8 years to get in the club. There are about 250 members, the waiting list is extensive. Finally when my name came up in Feb., I was required to qualify by playing 5 rounds with a board member. Yes, I did qualify.

However, their Club Championship was coming up in June of this year and I needed to get 10 rounds in to participate. I made the cut, barely. The competition was brutal, serious and competitive. I told the husband I would really like to take the Los Verdes trophy to The Villages, he looked at me me like, your nuts.

The first round I was 2 strokes behind the leader, the second round I was 5 strokes behind the leader and the third round I got serious. Going into the 10th hole I was tied with the leader, on the 18th hole I was leading by 5 strokes. I shot 78 and won the Club Championship of the Los Verdes Women's Club by 5 strokes. I'm bringing the trophy to The Villages.

This Ladies Club has been so gracious and kind to me, it has been an honor to win and to represent them. The club will be sending me to the Amateur Masters tournament this year in Palm Springs.

When I called the husband to tell him the grand news, he was shocked. He said, if I was a betting man, I wouldn't have put money on you. Guess what? It's not what you think, it's what I believe about myself. I wanted that trophy. I dug down deep and I'm bringing the title to Florida.

I knew there was a better story out there! Good for you....There are a ton of good players in the Villages who would love to play with you!

You know that is soooo important "having fun too".....These girls were so much fun, BUT you always have lots of fun when you have lots of birdies, the true test is when you are still having fun when you have those double bogeys....And here in the Villages, everyone is so nice, we all just laugh and head to the next hole to see what is "waiting for us"....tee hee

BUT the starter and ambassadors at De La Vista are sooooo nice!...Only course I know, that has an ambassador on the "Closest to Pin" hole, gets all of our balls and measures for us...Starters give us balls that they have found and even treat us to bottled water and crackers sometimesl.....Really great group of guys!
