Thanks for all the memories!

Thank you for entrusting me with the well being of our fabulous women's golf association at Sawgrass Country Club for the past two years. It has been my pleasure and honor to serve.

I want to give accolades, appreciation and hugs to the executive board. Our Membership chair, Ginny Elliott, greeted all new members and kept track of all of us! Mary Lou Bannon set up all of our play days for two seasons including Opening, Christmas and Closing Days! Thank you! Susan Cruickshank took care of all of our Major Tournaments for two years! Job well done! Our treasurer, Lynn Dickinson, managed all of our incoming and outgoing funds. Not a job for the timid! Thank you. Secretary Linda Soud kept track of all things important said at all meetings and sent notes to members who needed our support. Good for you...and us!

Thanks to all the chairs and all of the members who asssisted for making SWGA the best womens golf group in the entire area...maybe the world!!!!

We could not accomplish any of these events without the backing (and fronting) of our wonderful Golf Shop and all of the professionals who have assisted us in our endeavors. Greg Lecker, Billy Pomeroy, Pamela Shelley, Stefan Brunt, Rachel Reynoldson, Beth Yahara and others including the entire outside operations deserve our praise. Thanks to F&B for helping to make our special events memorable and serving us cheerfully on a regular basis. Additionally, I want to thank our Club Manager, Barry McDonald, for his support and the fine work of all of the Country Club staff. We are indeed fortunate members!

Best wishes to Roseanne Corrigan and her committees.
I had a blast!
