ICC Ladies 18ers

By Sally Nadanyi

Blooming Everywhere!

The 18ers kicked off the season with our Opening Day event on March 28th. The event was a tremendous success with great fun and friendship. We played a “Bingo Game” that required Bingo items such as “birdies,” “hit a tree” and “green in regulation.” Congratulations to our two winners (Bea Pham and Diane Utley) who both managed to complete their Bingo Cards on the very first hole! We had a great turnout with almost half of our members playing. The Bingo event was followed by a delicious buffet lunch. New members are welcome to join us anytime! If you are interested in joining the 18ers, please contact Chris Park in the Pro Shop.

Update on ARFAX

The ARFAX season got underway on Wednesday, March 29th with the Ice Breaker Tournament at River Bend Country Club. Fortunately, the weather was nice and not “ice breaker material” as it has been in years past. Our very own Cindy Cox was in the team that took 1st Place Low Gross in this step aside scramble event. Nicely done Cindy and her team!!!

Our match play started on April 11th with a match against Washington Golf played at Westwood Country Club. Overall, our team played well and is sitting in 3rd place just 2 shots behind Washington Golf, the 2nd place team. There are three matches left to play. Great job, ladies! Go, 18ers!!

It is not too late to join our ICC ARFAX team. The cost is only $40 and it allows you to play in the summer tournaments. Cup tournaments are coming up in June, July and August. In addition, there will be two events scheduled as two-lady events. If you are interested, please let Kristina Ringqvist or Bette Rutherford know and they will get your membership set up.

Update on WDCGA

The WDCGA team has started match play. ICC is in Division 5 where each club fields a four-person team. This is the first time in many years that ICC is fielding a team. Regular members are Bea Pham, Cindy Cox, Susan Sharer and co-captain Sally Nadanyi. Play will be against Argyle, Manor, Columbia, Army-Navy-FX and TPC Potomac. Good luck ladies. The match play will continue until the end of May.

Mark your calendar for the Member-Guest event which is scheduled on Tuesday, June 13th. The theme will be “Rock Around the Course – Rock the Drive, Roll the Putt!” Shannon Tully has graciously volunteered to coordinate the event. If you would like to help and “rock and roll” with Shannon, please contact her at bsjdtully@cox.net. This event is open to all ICC lady golfers.
