Dear TLQ Lady Golfers,

Happy March! That means that spring is almost here but, sadly, it means the season is almost over. Let’s just enjoy the time we have left!

Congratulations, Everyone! We are the proud owners of a golf course! And I know you all are as excited as I am to see the workers and their equipment busy making Trilogy La Quinta Great Again!!  

This year we put our Member/Member tournament back on the calendar, but it wasn’t meant to be. The Almighty had different plans for those two Mondays, and we were rained out. But, there was some celebration at the Couples and Odd Couples tournament held on February 12th. 

Congratulations to John and Sandi Trotter in the ‘Couples’ division, and to Al Clark and Dale Fowler in the ‘Odd Couples’ division (I played with these two, and he played fabulous - as usual, but Dale played lights out!). It was a fun day and, even though on paper the men’s club hosted, don’t be fooled!! Rita and her boundless energy and endless attention to detail pulled off another memorable event!

Honorable mention: I was also witness to Denise Tjalma’s 36 on the back 9 at Big Rock on February 2, her birthday. What a great way to celebrate! 

I want to remind everyone to sign up for the 18+9 Mixer on the patio outside Cafe Solaz on March 18, at 4:30. It will be a great opportunity to meet and chat with our counterpart Sisters. Sign up on the website. 

Another reminder, we have one more round of the YLE, two more rounds of the Club and Senior Club Championships and, our favorite, friendly competition, Rats & Birds. 

This year’s theme is be Denim & Diamonds, hosted at Lyna Newman’s house on March 25th. Be sure to sign up on the website. And make sure to read the ‘Fun Rule of the Week’ posted by our Rules Chair, Toni Clough. 

That’s all for now.
