NEWS FROM Ray Smith Golf Committee & Craig Misch – Golf Pro March was an exciting month.

After the smoke settled and the wind died down, Ralph Beighley, with a three day total of 235 and Jan Dubsky, with a two day total of 175 were crowned the new Monarch GC Club Champions for 2016.

Next was the Club Championship. Congrats to Jan Dubsky our champ for 2016. Then we had an Irish Shamble on St. Patrick’s Day. Lots of ladies in green out there. First Place team was Ann Carter, Diana Hamilton, Marge Parkinson and Bev Race. Only one point away in second place was Jean Bailey, Esther Patterson, Carol Smith and Evelyn Weasner. We had another luncheon of Reuben’s afterward and a good time was had by all. Helene Olchowick had the most fairways with a whopping 14. Below Par was played next and flight winners were Linda Hodgson, Coreen Corbin and Marie Marvil. In celebration of Easter, Coreen Corbin won closest to the egg and Linda Hodgson won closest to the Bunny.

Diane Christie had an eagle on #10. Congratulations! That’s the best Marie Marvil could do as an award to Diane. April Games will be Blind Nine with Longest drive #15 followed by the Member Guest Tournament. The last 2 weeks will be the Ringer Tournament. Hope to see you all out there.
