From our new El Presidente
It was a wonderful Summertime Scramble at Crystal Springs. Blue skies and 75 degrees. Great food on the turn as well.
Group 1: Meleah Larroca, Yoko Uesaka, and Angelika Ryan. As scribed by Meleah.
Our fearless leader Debbie Gill, aka Madame la Presidente, was laid up with a bad shoulder, so Angelika, Yoko and Meleah headed out as a threesome. It took us until about the second hole to realize we were at a distinct disadvantage in the scramble format due to our reduced number, so Meleah sent a text to the President (Gill, not the other one…) to find out how we play this fairly. She quickly texted back to say that the threesome gets one extra shot, and you rotate among the players. We were thrilled to learn this and immediately racked up a birdie on the fourth hole! Though we were glad to be getting the same number of shots as the other foursomes, we soon realized just how mentally challenging it would be to keep track of who is supposed to be taking that extra shot! A sample dialogue on any given hole: “No, Angelika doesn’t take a shot on this one because we’re using her drive, and it’s Yoko’s turn to hit the extra shot. Wait, I thought it was Meleah’s turn to take the extra shot! Oh, you’re right, because she goes after Angelika…” You get the idea. In the end it worked out well for us, as we turned in a very impressive score of 75 to win the competition, thanks to some great teamwork, not to mention some very nice long putts made by Angelika and a terrific last ditch now or never fourth drive on the 18th hole by Yoko!
Group 2: Jane Hornaday, Deb Zipp, Valerie Makarovsky, and JoAnn Deasy. As written by Deb. Crystal Springs: Sunshine, Scrambles and Plenty of Laughs. A beautiful day and perfect weather set the stage for a memorable round across the rustic terrain of Crystal Springs. with Florida Scramble rules keeping everyone on their toes. Jane and Valerie delivered steady and consistent shots throughout, while Deb and JoAnn embraced the adventure and enjoyed every step of the journey to the green. It took a little time for the group to find its rhythm, but once settled, the round was filled with moments of brilliance mixed with the usual reality check. Most importantly, the day was defined by good company, shared laughter and plenty of fun from start to finish
Group 3: Orla Petirs, Joanne Wood, Kathy Burry, and Lana Yagle. As scribed by Lana. When choosing your teammates, Orla, Joanne and Kathy are number one and brilliant. I think we all agreed that a "Florida Scramble" is perfectly suited to Crystal Springs. I am probably not the first and not the only golfer to admit that the course is very challenging. We really did not have any blow out holes and were pretty steady with a final score of 81. Ms. Orla can hit a ball further than a country mile and she proved it on #16 with a winning 175-yard tee shot. Joanne had some stellar tee shots and a fabulous 25-yard putt on hole #2. Kathy had a great round and kept us in line and competitive. I contributed with a couple of par putts on #5 and #13. If laughter is the determining factor, we had a great time.
Group 4: Jacqueline Johnson, Marianne Winkler, Linda Lockyer, and Tracy Terway. Recorded by Linda. It was a perfect August 75 degree weather day at a golf course that felt like a regional park with many deer, turkeys and a few hawks. We felt good about our game on the front nine. We had 3 pars and 6 bogeys. Both Jacqueline and Tracy are long ball hitters, which certainly helped us the whole way. We managed several 1 putts and played very well as a team. It was Marianne’s first tournament with the Partee Girls and she did great. The four of us got along very nicely and enjoyed our lunch at the turn. Tracy worked for that lunch walking the entire 18 holes. We liked the Florida Scramble format, and it worked well at Crystal Springs. We were all yes votes on returning here next year.
Group 5: Judy Moran, Virginia Lawson, and Maureen Theberge. As noted by Virginia.
It was a beautiful day in a beautiful place. The views are awesome and, of course, the
company too! Maureen made lots of amazing drives, especially on #13 where she was within 4 feet of the hole. Even though none of us made the putt, it was still a par.
Since everything rolls to the reservoir, it was easy to tell where it was even though we only saw it once.

From our new Presidente, Linda Lockyer:
Great to see you all on Saturday out at Baylands. I had fun following you all
around. I got cleared for golf in 3 weeks. See you on the links soon!
Group 1: Meleah Larroca, Judy Moran, Marcello and Christine. As written by Meleah. Meleah and Judy from the PTGs paired up with Marcella and Christine from the Parfects and had a great time playing golf while getting acquainted. The course had its challenges, particularly on the greens, where we scored multiple putts. While we each had a blow-up hole here and there, it seemed there were always a couple of decent scores to carry our team for the tournament. We ended up with a respectable 147, but it was no match for team #3. Congrats to the winners, and hope we get another chance to play with this great group of ladies! By the way, did the rest of you see that long eared Jack Rabbit who seemed to be all over the course? That was a new one to add to the list of wildlife we've seen on our Par Tee Girls outings!
Group 2: Lana Yagle, Mary Jo Leary, Bridget and Nessa. As scribed by
Mary Jo. Baylands Golf Links- one for the books ! The course was HUGE, needed binoculars to find the flag on half of the holes. And the fescue...so much fescue. "STAY OUT OF THE FESCUE". Nessa brought the strategy and some gorgeous drives. Bridget's short game was effortless. Lana was draining long putts on those wild undulating greens. And me? I got real cozy with my irons...in the fescue. Repeatedly! Birdie Juice + Fireball fueled the front nine, and it paid off-Bridget stuck a BEAUTIFUL birdie and we toasted with the proper cups and Johnny Walker. Love this foursome! Same time next round?
Group 3: Virginia Lawson, Maureen Theberge, Carina O'Brien, and Sandy Gandolfo. As scribed by Maureen. Baylands, Badlands, No Man's land (What??). Two lost balls on the 2nd hole- what the f#$%&!!)- It was all a blur. There were however some redeeming features. The Parfects (Carina and Sandy) played parfectly both front and back with beautiful drives, consistent hitting and pretty nice putting as demonstrated by the first place team finish. ParTee girls (Virginia and Maureen) placed more emphasis on the ParTee by riding along enjoying the beautiful course (though it seems the course got the better of them), great weather, and an occasional shot. Another great day of golf... to sum it up, let's do this again soon.
Group 4: Betty Osborn, Yoko Uesaka , Breda, and Marina. No one wanted to send a blurb.
Group 5: Kathy Burry, Rekha Patel, Kim and Pam. As scribed by Kathy. I was disappointed to find the red stakes seemed to have multiplied and creeped closer to the fairway. Needless to say, our foursome was responsible for losing at least a dozen balls (collectively), into protected areas, which was reflected in our high scores!! Someone is collecting many brand new balls-likely for resale. We all agreed that we would not want to repeat a tournament on this course. On a positive note, we were a lively, fun group of ladies that thoroughly enjoyed our 10th hole margaritas-many thanks to Linda for your cart service! Much appreciated.
