| WNHGA Visits Stockton Golf & Country Club |
| Women’s Nine Hole Golf Association was invited to make a visit to this club. We delivered an informational packet to the twenty-two club members present and quickly ran through the items in the packet as well as giving the three ladies who had chip-ins a Brag Tag and pin.
Our Q&A session included “what does WNHGA stand for,” “why do we use Markers,” “do we limit handicaps,” and “must we share information from GPS devices?” These led to some informative discussions which everyone including the WNHGA Directors enjoyed.
A wonderful side of this visit was joining in their morning golf followed by lunch in the clubhouse. We were thrilled to be included in a birthday celebration for Kelley Spooner, their Head Golf Professional. |
