Goofy Golf 2009

The second annual Goofy Golf Tournament was conducted on the afternoon of October 4th, the last day before the commencement of overseeding. Sixty-two players competed in the event which featured a different “challenge” on each hole. Players had to contend with such “challenges” as hitting a tee shot from a stool, playing with clubs of the opposite hand, and two-by-fours set strategically around the hole.

The format was a nine-hole, four-person scramble with all players hitting from the Plum tees. This year the weather conditions, with winds gusting to 30 mph, played a part in the outcome.

The results:

1st – John & Jan Murphy and Bill & Sue Hart (29)
2nd – Bruce & Fran Fowler and Russ & Jan Stocek (32)
3rd – Clyde & Cookie Smith and George & Terry Fondurulia (33)

RRGC Ladies Member-Guest

It's now time to play catch up. The next few postings will bring us up to date (hopefully) on several of the events that have occurred at RRGC.

Here's the first one:

The Robson Ranch Ladies Golf Association conducted their first Member-Guest golf tournament on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 at the Robson Ranch Golf Club. The event was utilized as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Komen is a United States-wide organization that supports breast cancer research. The event raised over $2,100 for cancer research through donations, “mulligans” and raffles.

The tournament was conducted as a two person scramble over 18 holes with each player’s tee shot being used a minimum of four times. The top five finishers were as follows:

Pam Costner/Teresa Densley 70
Adele Wolyn/Phyllis Weber 72
Jean DeChristopher/Dee Lee 77
Terry Fondurulia/Carla Hill 78
Brenda Wedin/Margaret Erickson 79

Robson Ranch is a part of the Robson Resort Communities. The facility is located in Casa Grande/Eloy, AZ and is ideally situated halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. All Robson Communities feature an Active Adult Lifestyle which includes one or more golf courses.

Who Beat the Pro?!

During the month of January both the Men’s Club and Ladies Club at Robson Ranch conducted their seasonal Beat the Pro Matches. The golf was good and the excitement was spellbinding. And it must be said that the ladies fared far better than the men.

With twenty-one ladies competing ten shot a net score lower than the professional’s gross score of 74. The winners were:

Barb Chmilar - 66
Jan Brown – 68
Linda Carlberg – 69
Fran Fowler - 70
Pam Costner – 71
Sue Hart – 71
Kay Jacobs – 71
Glady Miller – 71
Dell Hoff – 73
Fran Schwatrz – 73

Congrats to all the ladies for their fine play.

The men, however, were another story. Of forty-two competitors only one was able to shoot a net score lower than the pro’s 66. The winner was…

Paul Hoff – 65

Congrats, Paul! A job well done.
