Front Nine golfers complete first season at Soule

To celebrate the completion of the first Front Nine women's mini-golf league, the members met at Soule Park Sunday night for an awards dinner.

Winners from the last mini-tournament on June 11 were announced at the dinner. Coming in first with a net 82 in the partner's tournament were Michelle Messecar and Karen McGinnis. Sharing the second-place prize were Carole Borland and Mitnee Duque. Claiming third were Rachel McCollum and Kathy Tighe.

The closest-to-the-pin and the longest drive (239 yards) of the day awards went to Messecar.
Other players recognized at the meeting were McCollum for overall lowest handicap and lowest gross. Secretary-Treasurer for the league, Bonnie Griffin, was named most improved. Special thanks were given to Soule Park general manager Don Miller and club pro Tyson York for their support and encouragement.

Club members agreed to host another 10-week league, which will start July 2 and continue through Sept. 3. New members are welcome.
Each Wednesday will be a complete nine-hole tournament and each player may choose to compete in a tournament of the day, or simply play for fun to establish their handicap.

Applications are now being accepted for the second round of Front Nine. Call the Soule Park pro shop at 646-5633 to secure a starting time. New members may also apply for membership on this first day of play to get the special league rate. Membership is $25 for the 10-week tournament play, two free clinics and an end-of-the-season dinner.
For more information call Duque at 646-6788.
