La Presidente: I didn't do my usual nagging to get blurbs in, but thanks to Marissa and Lily for completing their blurb without the Catholiic guilt. Also thanks to Linda Lockyer for getting this tournament off the ground with a lot of moving parts at Presidio.
Group 1: Elise Leung, Linda Lockyer, Judy Moran, Lily Boris. As per usual via Lily’s remembrance. As instructed, we were dressed for winter weather this morning. But by hole 2 we were already dressing down. Elise had 8 PARS on the first 9 holes. And substantial one putts to match (14 on the front). Oh a glamorous front. And YES with 32 putts, THE lowest putts. Linda had a bit of SAND trouble both 9’s. But had the most fun on hole 4 for a 15-foot zero (putt) chip in. Judy managed the course well and ended with a decent round. But eh, her putter was seriously unfriendly today. Lily the only one without a motorized cart had a great glute workout. And a very successful SANDY bogey and zero putt on hole 18. I guess that means she will golf another day!
Group 2: Jane Hornaday, Orla Petirs, Kim Richardson, Kathy Burry. Slackers…no blurb.
Group 3: Lana Yagle, Marissa Felizardo, Meleah Larroca, Valerie Makarovsky. Marissa recalls well. Front 9 was a hot mess from the start. Provisionals and penalties galore for Meleah and Marissa. It put us a bit behind the group in front so, as per usual, the Marshal politely told us to giddy up. Which we did. Meanwhile, Lana kept hitting (most) of her shots straight as an arrow. Or straight into a bunker. I think she thought she was in Hawaii or something. It was great to have someone familiar with the course layout (Meleah). For example, it saved us so much time in terms of looking for balls when we should and when we shouldn’t. They say you should always record your Par 3’s in case you ever get that elusive hole in 1. Meleah came to within a foot of one, but unfortunately it wasn’t one of the closest-to-hole contest nor did we get it on camera. She knocked it in for her birdie. That was exciting! Marissa should have bought a lotto ticket because she was on a lucky streak (too many to name). Valerie rubbed her arm for good luck. It worked for a couple of holes and then it didn’t. Despite the Presidio being one heck of a difficult course, with not a single flat fairway to be found, we had a wonderful time. Our foursome was great, the weather was gorgeous, every hole picturesque. It really is a beautiful course. We ended our round just in time as the wind started to really kick up. Lots of fun drinking/eating and catching up at the 19th hole.
Group 4: Katie Arnemann, JoAnn Deasy, Joanne Wood, Maureen Theberge. Goldbrickers, the lot of them

La Presidente: Harding Tourney was foggy in the beginning and then the sun came out but not before Lily had to buy a vest and JoAnn had to search for her ski cap. Thanks to Linda Lockyer for arranging the tourney and reserving a table afterwards with our personalized menu. And thanks to Katie for figuring out the bill. I hope we gave you enough money. I came home with more money than I came with...I stole $60 from Jane, but don't tell her.
Group 1: Betty Osborn, Judy Moran, Elise Leung, Katie Arnemann: As scribed by Katie: Betty was the queen of 2-putts with six and she won 2nd low net! Judy had the most consistent drives making Katie jealous, but Judy won closest to the pin on #17! We all drove better when Elise went first because our shots needed direction! Elise was robbed of longest drive on 10 when the course didn’t provide the marker…well they did but it was on #14. Katie had four, one-putts with several long putts and won fewest putts and low net. We had a great time with great weather and it was lovely to walk!
Group 2: Chris Czerkies, Lily Boris, Althea Peng, Valerie Makarovsky. As quickly written by Althea. What a beautiful day with beautiful women! The course was in great shape too. We all had our moments of brilliance. Althea had a sandy chip in par on #3 for a 3 with 0 putts but couldn’t make a putt outside of 3 feet. Lily connected on a bunch of her drives, especially on the back 9. Valerie avoided a double bogey on #17 with a fantastic long one-putt. Chris wins most improved, going from 61 on the front to 49 on the back! Yet another fun outing with the Par Tee Girls!
Group 3: Jane Hornaday, Ted Hornaday, Linda Lockyer: As Ted surprised the group by writing: It was a sunny day, and three hot blondes ventured forth for an 18-hole Par-T. Many long drives were hit, and many long putts were missed and missed and missed except for Linda’s speed putting and phenomenal 2-putting. Thanks for another great day, Par-T girls. Keep it up!
Group 4: Jacqueline Johnson, Maureen Theberge, Debbie Gill, JoAnn Deasy. As remembered by Debbie without her notes. The good: JoAnn and Debbie got a handicap flag for our cart to allow us to ride on the Fairway…a god send. Jacqueline made two long putts. Maureen got off the tee well and scored well on the front nine. The bad. Jacqueline could have had the longest drive but it wound up hitting a tree on the right and then bouncing onto the rough ahead of Althea’s drive. Debbie played the par threes with aplomb, but never closest to the pin. Maureen had a helluva time in the rough. JoAnn too had problems in the rough but once she got on the fairway, she hit it well. The ugly. JoAnn getting too close to the green with the cart and the governor made her go back some 50 yards. We waited for her. Jacqueline’s teammates failed her a couple of times as we didn’t follow her drive and she had a lost ball. Maureen was frustrated on the back nine as she landed in the rough a lot and it consistently grabbed her club. Debbie’s score card looked like a bunch of 6s and 7s. Double bogey golf. But fun…absolutely.
