FC LIFE APRIL 2018

An Active Spring for Ladies and Couples Golf

There have been so many great recent golf events for the ladies and couples. The Ladies Color War , with some new aspects, started with a lovely dinner the night before, during which were drawings to determine on which “team,” in which foursome each lady would be playing, and which pro was assigned to each group. The next morning, golf was played in a shamble, best ball net format, with a Stableford net point system. The event climaxed with a wonderful luncheon. The ladies who played in the Ladies Member-Staff Tournament on Thursday, April 19 formed their own foursomes and each group played with a staff member in an 18-hole, step-aside scramble, with one drive required of each player. A lovely buffet luncheon, again with some new luscious choices, followed golf. Continuing a fun traditional Ladies Golf event, more than 55 women signed up for Ladies Night Out on Thursday, April 12. They started with a shotgun tee-off at 4:30, and played a nine-hole, step-aside scramble. Following golf, everyone enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, with a great and lively D.J. encouraging everyone to come up and enjoy dancing, as so many did. The music and dancing continued during dinner, which was a delicious buffet with many choices. A lot of fun and dancing continued past dessert, as an enjoyable evening was had by all. Co-chairs Sandy Lamm and Susan Katz did a great job planning this fun event. The last Nine, Wine and Dine of the season was played on Friday, April 20, with another wonderful turnout of 184, and in warm, sunny weather. (Hurrah - no rain – though windy, as seems common this year.) Starting at 4:30, golfers played a nine-hole, step-aside scramble format. A lovely cocktail party and buffet dinner, with lots of choices, completed a very delightful day, with many sorry it was the last tourna- ment of the season for this popular and fun event. Co-chairs Sue Shaw and Robyn Rosenblatt did a great job all year. Many thanks are due to our wonderful golf staff – JR, Rich, Kim, Rocco, Chris, Will and Todd for all they did to make these events run so smoothly. Thanks also to our Martina and her right hand Sue, who made sure all the luncheons, cocktail parties and dinners ran so smoothly and well, and our dining staff, which was superb and so cooperative

The Frenchman’s Creek Excursion on March 21 was another delightful experience. After breakfast in the 19 th Hole, the ladies were taken by bus to the Wick Theatre and Museum in Boca Raton. For diversion and amusement on the trip, there was a Bingo game, won by Carole Kirschenbaum and a Frenchman’s Creek quiz, won by Esther Glasser and Gale Salz. Upon arrival, the group was welcomed and given info about the theatre and the costume museum, where each year a different theme is used for the exhibits. The current theme is Bling, referring to the types of costumes shown. There was a tour covering all the magnificent ex- hibits of costumes and dress from so many shows, and a series of Liberace “outfits” which were beautifully outrageous. After the tour and some free time to look more closely and photo as much as desired, everyone had a very nice luncheon in the Tavern at the Wick before heading home from a very enjoyable “excursion.” Many thanks to Adele, who again planned a wonderful day.
