Warm sunshine blessed the 108 Golf Resort when over two dozen 108 Ladies Club members played 18 holes for the Dorothy Olive Franklin Memorial and also the back nine for regular competition of low gross, low net, closest to the pin and long drives on June 23.

The longest drives on No. 17 were hit by Shelley Larson in the first flight, Shannon Knapp in the second and Angela Batalha in the third flight.

In the third flight, Pinkerton shot low gross, with Sharon Thompson second and Gloria Corno third. Pauline Weigelt shot lowest net in the third flight, followed by Debbie Garrow and Del Gunn.

A special twist was added to the 108 Ladies Club round on June 16.

Thirty-three golfers took part in a game of “Crystal Ball”, a fun game that creates great team camaraderie, at the 108 Golf Resort.

Played in teams of four or five players, the game sees each player take a turn playing with the special crystal ball on different holes on the front nine, and calculate their net score for that hole. The best net score of the other three or four players is counted. Should the player hitting the crystal ball lose the ball at any time, the team is disqualified.

The first place team won by a single stroke with a total score of 65. The team included Weigelt, Waite, Corno and Gunn.

The second place team (66) had Scarrow, Garrow, Batalha, Lorraine Scott and Lorraine McCaffrey.

The third place team (69) included Lori Henderson, Garrow, Case and Vicki Sanford.

In fourth place (70) was Heather Matsuda, Janet Roux, Ohlund and Corinne French.

Ohlund dropped a birdie on No. 3.

Closest to the pin shooters in their respective flights were McKave, Menzies and Corno.

The longest drives in their respective flights went to Scarrow, Menzies and Scott.

The 108 Ladies Club saw 35 members hit the links on June 9.

Ohlund, Case, Darlene DeAngelis, Clara Koehn and Waite all made birdies.

In the first flight, Waite recorded the lowest gross score, followed by Case, McKave and Scarrow.
