Time for a Change

Greetings from DAnna,

In February of 2008 I began the PRWGA blog.  Some 396 posts later, I am handing over the bloggy reins to Joyce Sisti.  A new blog has been created, with a new "address".  The present blog will continue to hang out in cyberspace if you want to check on anything up to this point.

The address of the new blog is:  http://www.pasoroblesladiesgolfassociation.blogspot.com/  so make a note of it, put it in your favorites, or on your desktop, and check it often.  Please contact Joyce Sisti (her number is in the book) if you have items or photos for her to include.

A big thanks to Joyce, for volunteering to take over the blogging duties, and to all of you out there for your kind words and support over the last 3 1/2 years!    Please give Joyce your kind comments, support, and help in keeping our blog going! 

As you probably have heard, my husband and I have bought a house in Colorado, and we will eventually be moving to Parker, Colorado.  I'll be around for awhile (you know how long it takes to sell a house here nowadays), but will understandably be busy getting our house ready to sell, and getting ready to move once that happens.  But I'll still be out on the course whenever I can as long as I'm here. 

Thanks again for all the support you have given to me and the blog.

Fondly, and with a bit of separation anxieity,

DAnna

Hole In One

Anita Stevens had a hole-in-one on hole #8 at Avila Beach on August 8th.  It was witnessed by Jill McClusky, Jan Lynch and Jan Pelletiere.  This foursome was playing a practice round in preparation for the Dolphin Day Tournament the following day.  Anita said that she used her 7 wood, which was the same club she used in February when she scored another hole-in-one!  Congratulations, Anita!

A Note From Our Prez!

Dear ladies,

Thank you, one and all, for participating in our little tribute for Gaye Mayfield. I think it was done perfectly, and I want to thank Pam Finley for her usual excellent efforts in planning a delicious lunch and for the special hat centerpieces. Gaye would have loved walking into our dining room and seeing all her golf hats on display. Thanks also to all of you who shared special memories. I know our little tribute meant a lot to Gaye's daughter.

Swinging into the month of March, we look forward to our beloved DDM tournament which starts on Thursday March 31st and ends on Friday. April 1st. I think this is my favorite tournament of the year.

As those of you present at our General Meeting heard me say, our invitational this year is going to be quite different. We are joining forces with the Chalk Mountain Ladies to put on one "super" tournament between our two clubs. With everything so expensive these days it makes sense to join forces and have one fabulous day of golf. We are trend-setters so I'm thinking other clubs in the San Luis Obispo County area might follow our lead. Grab your partner and plan to play -- it will be a great day of golf with all our friends.

Don't forget to mark your calendars that April 1st means 9am shotgun times!

I'll see you on the tee -- Maureen

Message from Maureen

Happy New Year, Ladies!

I can't think of anything more appropriate than wishing you all fun golf with favorite friends in 2011. If the rain stays away for a few weeks, we should be able to get in a few rounds before February!

We have a busy year ahead and one in which we will all miss our dear Gaye. I was cleaning off my desk this morning and found something I had saved. I think these words are very meaningful and I think she would like them.

The Little Ship

"I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered "She is gone."


But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation.


Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and at the very moment when my companion had whispered "She is gone" a glad shout went up in joyous welcome. "Here she comes!"

I'll see you out there .... Maureen

Remembering our friend, Gaye.
