I wanted to
add a new monthly column to my blog that focuses on our members at the Goderich
Sunset Golf Club. I was having a difficult time picking my first Sunset
Spotlight since I have so many great stories to share. However, this past weekend it was evident
that my first Sunset Spotlight would be Lynn Edward. I had the privilege of playing with Lynn
Edward, Kim Coughlin and Christine Hall on Sunday May 25th at
Widderstation Golf Club for their annual Ladies Scramble. I was a little nervous to be joining those
ladies because one thing my members know about me is I don’t get to play as
much as I would like and I’m always found inside in the Pro Shop.
The day of
the tournament was the best golf day of the year so far. Warm with a nice breeze. We started on hole # 16 with a par and we all
thought we were off to a great start.
Hole # 17 came around and it was a 105 yard par 3. Kim and Christine hit and put us in good
shape. I went next and put it to about
three feet away. Lynn thought maybe she wouldn’t
bother hitting her shot. Kim and
Christine were like oh just give it a try Lynn what’s the worst that could
happen? Well Lynn is living proof that
in a scramble always, I mean always take your shot. Lynn stepped up to the tee and took a
fabulous practice swing. She looked
super confident up there on the tee and hit her 8 iron perfectly. So perfect that it one hopped into the
cup. Christine swore it went in and next
thing you know Kim and Christine are up at the green screaming that it was
in. This is Lynn’s first hole in one and
I must say it was the perfect golf shot.
The only problem with getting a hole in one on your second hole is it is
very difficult to calm yourself or your team in this case, down enough to play
the other 16 holes. We managed to take
it one shot at a time and finished with a great score of five under. Our entire team contributed throughout our
round. Heading into the clubhouse we couldn’t
wait to get that drink off Lynn.
Little did
we know that once we joined up with all the other Sunset girls at the
tournament we would be tied for the lead and need a playoff with closest to the
pin being the winner. Seeing as we were
100 yards out we knew Lynn needed to take out her trusty 8 iron and just swing
exactly like number 17. She did and was closest
to the pin beating all the girls on the other team. It was a great day for not only this Sunset team
but the other two Sunset teams that participated. We certainly cleaned up….just hope our invitation
next year doesn’t get lost in the mail….
.
Congratulations
Lynn on your first hole in one. Congrats
to my partners Christine, Kim and Lynn for a job well done!
