WASHINGTON —
The Washington Country Club Ladies Golf League last Saturday hosted a successful Susan G. Komen Rally for a Cure event to help fight breast cancer.
A total of $3,274 was raised for Rally for a Cure, which strives to increase breast self-awareness and mammography screening rates to ensure early detection of breast cancer.
Golf League rally chairperson Kim Mitchko said, “Even with an unstable economy, some area businesses and individuals are always willing to support the Washington Country Club Ladies League do its part in the fight against breast cancer. Even though it rained the entire morning, everyone said they had a good time, and it didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s spirits. Everyone said it will definitely be one to remember and everyone will be ready for next year.”
Thirty-six golfers played in the event, on nine teams, in three flights.
The event kicked off with breakfast, provided by the league members.
Dawn Strange, a cancer survivor who played in the event, was given a corsage by Jan Smith, on behalf the league. Door prizes and winners were recognized at a catered salad luncheon after the event.
Winning hole prizes were: Dee Pride with the longest drive on No. 4, Denise Hart who was Closest to the Line on No. 7 and Susan Loftin with Closest to the Pin on No. 5.
Team 1, with Jan Smith, Joanna Jones, Cynthia Petty and Joanne Bahr, won the A Flight with 64.
Team 6, with Linda Strosnider, Sandy Wehr, Gina Flynn and Deborah Kassel, won the B Flight with 73; and Team 7, with Terri Kelso, Melody Brunson, Sarah Browning and Paula Westfall won the C Flight with 67.
Kelso also won the 50/50 drawing for $115. Thirty-six other door prizes were given away.
“Without all our many sponsors, a fund-raising event like this would not be the same. All in all it was a great day, we not only raised a lot of money for a wonderful cause, but also got some much needed rain, and had fun,” said Sheila Morris, league president.
