From El Presidente:
The end of the season has arrived. It was a fun bunch of outings with a great group of women. Just plain fun with a little bit of pain thrown in. Make sure you read the bottom of the recap for the 2025 in numbers...always amusing.
Group 1: Elise Leung, Meleah Larroca, Orla Petirs. As Orla remembers. As the first group off, we braved the drizzle, armed with optimism, sometimes questionable aim, and plenty of laughter. Elise dominated the course with the lowest gross and closest to the pin. Orla launched the longest drive - then promptly demonstrated that putting is an entirely different sport. Meleah showed great consistency and kept spirits high despite some lost balls. The round ended in sunshine, smiles, and just enough good shots to keep everyone coming back.
Group 2: Debbie Gill, Joy Woo, Kim Richardson, Joanne Wood. Debbie scribes. Debbie scribes because she didn’t play many holes due to her many maladies and the aging process. As Mickey Mantle said, “if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” Joy was the star of the foursome with a 49 on the front nine. She birdied the par-3, #7. Sadly, it wasn’t one of closest to the pin holes. She lost steam on the last couple of holes but tied for Low Net. Hooray. Kim birdied the par-3, #3 with a long putt. She had a couple of blow-up holes but righted herself with several pars. Joanne parred quite a few holes and played better than her handicap. We all laughed a lot which makes it so much more fun to play this beautiful course on a fabulous Fall Day.
Group 3: Linda Lockyer, Rekha Patel, Jane Hornaday, Lisa LaMagna. Jane speaks. Perfect day on the HMB Ocean course! Linda dominated the front nine with consistent tee-to-green play. Rekha's back nine was stellar—could've been even lower without a few lip-outs. Jane delivered a clutch par save on 18 and Lisa's short game shined throughout. And that ugly Hole 10? Duff city for everyone—good laughs all around. Great having Rekha as our guest!
Group 4: Lana Yagle, Marissa Felezardo, JoAnn Deasy, Valerie Makarovsky. No one scribed for this foursome…slackers!!!
Group 5: Deb Upshaw, Virginia Lawson, Lily Boris, Diana Millado. By our favorite blurb writer, Lily. In the Bay Area, we’d call a foggy morning ‘dreary.’ But out by the Oceanside the fog was magnificent. It is not wrong to call first day of November in California a typical “fall” day. The sun hung behind the fog for hours, crisp and cold in the morning, followed by a bright sunshine (after we all had played at least 16 holes). We had a day much like a quote from Bobby Jones: "Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies." Deb played PAR 3’s and 4’s very well. Managed the course gullies and valleys. Her drives were consistent, and her putts were generally online. She also managed to stay out of the sand on this day. Virginia came ready to play. All smiles and laughter. Her driver was spot on!!! Didn’t miss a single drive. She had several PARs and several NET PARs. Diana started the morning with PARs on holes 1-2 & 3, followed by a 10 and she managed the course so well, that she ended her day with a 91 and low net. Lily played alongside Diana. Lily played a very different game, managing to make distance shots BUT NOT putts. And at the end of the round had a decent score … so go figure. Truly golf is a cool game.
