Our 18-Hole Ladies came decked out in their pink outfits on Tuesday, April 21st, for their annual Rally For The Cure tournament to raise contributions for breast cancer awareness and research. Mim Markowitz (pictured below) won the Closest-to-the Pin on Creek 16 for the grand prize of a golf bag. Sixteen ladies also won a golf ball for staying on the 16th green with their tee shots. Many thanks go to the 65 participants in this year’s event who contributed $1,300 with their entry fees. A special thank you goes out to all of the women and MGA members who purchased raffle tickets as well as Lyona Beck, Barbara Berman, Marcia Connor, Molly Higgins, Sue Hodges, Florence Kaisen, Pat Kirkman, Jan McDonald, Polly Scalise, Marjorie Schmidt, and Sharon Venice for their wonderful raffle donations.

WGA Trace Classic

The annual WGA Trace Classic consisted of twenty-six two person teams with the format being a better net score of the partners. The teams were broken down to four flights with flights one through three paying out two places and flight four paid out three places. The winners for flight one were Marie Inzerillo and Marcia Connor with a score of 132 pictured with Head Pro Mike Krick. Tina Drew and Chris Heppell came in at 134 to get second place in flight one. For Flight two, the winners were Ginny Seeger and Mary Ann Feavel with a score of 133; Ann Ashton and Jane Riordan came in second firing a score of 135. Sue Palmer and Jeannette Bloedorn won the third flight with a wonderful score of 128 and Connie Puklavtz and Bibi Brown were second with a 132. The fourth flight was very competitive with Polly Scalise and Sharon Venice shooting a score of 134 to edge out Gladys Noel and Louisa Hefflefinger to win the flight by one shot.

The 2009 MGA Member-Member was two great days of competitive and fun golf. With seven flights, eighty-four players played five nine-hole matches on both golf courses. The format was match play, each team earning points for the holes that were won. Coming out on top as overall champions was the team of Al Frangipane (pictured right) and Mike Washington (pictured left).

Ace Spotlight

We have two more to add to 2009's Ace Award. Jim Anabel (pictured first) starts off the spring with a hole in one on Lake #8. Even though it was on April 1st, this was no joke. He trusted his hybrid club to score the ace. Nice job Jim. Jack Zellner wasted no time to follow up the April 1st hole in one with one of his own. Jack's ace was on April 3rd on Creek #7. His shot never left the flag. This is the seventh ace of the year for CTCC members. Diane Conti's trip to the PGA show really got something started.

Continual Progress--Grand Clubhouse

Members are impressed with the progress of the clubhouse construction.

Sunday Couples Winning Team

Seventy-six players enjoyed an exciting day of Sunday Couples Golf. A large group of couples compete one Sunday per month. The format for March's tournament was one best ball on par 3s, two best balls on par 4s and three best balls on par 5s. The winning team (pictured left) was Ron and Diane Conti and Ken and Ginny Seeger (pictured right) with a score of 132. After competitors finished golf, they all gathered around the Marathon Bar for drinks and good times. Congrats to all that played.

Clubhouse Ahead of Schedule

The progress of the new grand 30,000 sq. ft. clubhouse is ahead of schedule. The Building crew is working 6 days a week, and our Building Committee is working 7 days a week. By mid-March we have steel beams up and a lot of the framing completed on the lower level. Also, Tim Hart and his ground crew relocated the scoreboard near the Marathon Bar, Pool and Tennis complex area. Our future is very bright! Now is the time to upgrade your membership or consider joining, before expected increases in the initiation fees nearing clubhouse completion.
