Muni Ladies at Rivertowne Country Club CALGA Event
As winter decided to give us one last chilly embrace, the Muni ladies weren’t deterred. Rivertowne Country Club hosted an enthralling display of skill and camaraderie, with 24 fierce competitors from our team. Among the stars, Kristen Biety and Terry Rickson clinched a fantastic 2nd low gross in the first flight.  Leslie Kalemjian and Blanche George won low net, flight two. Jen O’Brien and Mary Sudzina made a striking duo, securing 2nd low net in the same flight. Harper Lee and Sandi Becka dominated the 3rd flight winning low gross, while Ruth Yack and Mariejosee Gignac tied for low net.  In the 4th flight, Trina Turberville and Sue Tremont tied for 2nd low net. And, wrapping up the victories, Sue Gordon and Kathy Clark brought home the low gross for the 5th flight.

A hearty congratulations to all our Muni ladies! Your resilience and talent continue to inspire. The ladies will play the next CALGA Tournament at Coosaw Creek on April 8th. Here’s to many more successes on the greens!
