The Lake Chelan ladies golf club belongs to the AVWGA, Apple Valley Women’s Golf Association, which holds Match Play competitions each month between teams from seven Eastern Washington clubs.

On August 21st, six club members travelled to Yakima to play their match at Apple Tree. They battled the strong Lakeview team and came out on top with points.  The competing members were Jan Artim, April Talley, Barb Rayburn, Elona Teague, Candace Farnsworth and Linda Reister.

The Chelan team ended up second in overall points and first in net points. Next month they will play Wenatchee at Leavenworth. At the season’s end, the team with the most points is awarded $125 to be donated to a golf related charity so we are all rooting for our team.

The club’s usual weekly competition took place on Thursday. It was called T’s and F’s which is the score of holes beginning with the letters “T” and “F” less ½ handicap. Nineteen players and one guest participated. The winners were:

  • Division 1: First place: Candace Farnsworth, 32.5. Second Place: Gail Peterson, 33.
  • Division 2: First place: Toni Berry, 35. Second place was a tie between Judy Johanson and Karen Holst, 35.5.
  • Division 3: First place: Joni Dedo, 31.

The only birdie was made by Joan Pierce on hole 7. The chip-in pot was divided 5 ways this week. Chip-ins were made by Jacklyn Starr-Evans, hole 17; Candace Farnsworth, hole 15; Sherry Ochsner, hole 1; Karen Erickson, hole 16 and Nancy Parker on hole 16.

Next week’s competition is Par 3’s plus 5 other holes of your choice, less ½ handicap.
