CAPTAIN/PAST CAPTAIN TOURNAMENT

            Traditionally the past captains of RMWGC are guests of honor at the Captain/Past Captain Tournament.  The event was hosted by this year’s captain, Marilyn Laver, who presented a single red rose to all the past captains present.  Hospitality chair, Nina Heise, worked with Marilyn, and the RMCC staff and a superb lunch was enjoyed by all of the members. 

            Past Captains attending were: Tina McCracken (1987), Peggy Clauss (1990), Janet Novak (1992) Shirley Anderson (1993), Beverly Brown (1995), Mary Anne Corsaut (1996), Connie Heimbecker (1998), Margaret Niederberger (2001), E. Jane White (2000, 2002), Nan Parquette (2003), Sally Davis, (2004), Doris Hanson (2005), Billye Ericksen (2006) and Liz Stenstrom (2007).

            The Captain/Past Captain Tournament winner is based on low net and Karen Kehoe (69) will find her name engraved on the plaque in the trophy case as the winner in 2008.  Congratulations! Karen.

            CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

            Members are enjoying the shotgun starts on these extra warm days and lunch after play.  Lunch is open to all members and it is a good opportunity to see your fellow golfers, though you may not have played that day.  Place your name on the bottom for “lunch only”, on the designated days sign up sheet in the locker room.

            The Championship tournament is slated for August 5, 7, 12.  Stretch yourself and sign up for this tournament.  It is fun, flighted and an excellent chance for winning prizes.  There is lunch and a General Meeting on the 12th when the Club Champion will be named and prizes given for the flights.
