We were Winners!

The "animal team," Cathi & Chloe

I played hooky this morning and played in the Member-Guest Tournament at Overlake Golf Club with friend, Chloe Mueller.  Chloe and I (without consulting with one another about our wardrobe choices) showed up in our animal prints so looked like we had planned a team outfit.

The format was a scramble and we were teamed up with Jayne Zogg and her daughter, Jessie and friend Julie Patrick.  We began on hole number 7B and with Chloe's strategic coaching and incredibly long hits, we ended the nine holes with a 37, only one stroke over par. Each of us contributed at one point or another throughout the round by either sinking a long putt,  hitting a long drive or nailing an approach shot.

On hole number 3, both Jayne and I got on

the green with our drives though we were a long distance away from the pin.  My ball was just a couple of feet closer to the pin but so far away that I would never have measured it for the "closest to the pin" competition, if Chloe hadn't noticed that no one had yet put their name on the chart.  When we measured, my ball was 39'1/2" away from the pin, but we entered the distance on the chart anyway.  You can imagine my surprise when the round was over and my name was the one listed as "closest to the pin"!

And we also were the winners of best score, beating one other team by only one stroke.  I had to capture this amazing news with a photo since I may not ever see my name atop the leader board for golf again!
