Women’s Golf News

Spring has sprung, and we have had a busy start to 2023!

Our December Guest Day, “WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG,” was a tremendous success. All participants had a great time with prizes for the lightest and heaviest bag, a marshmallow drive and other fun events putting everyone in the holiday spirit. A huge “Thank You” to the committee for a fun Guest Day.

January started with a great Member/ Member followed by another Guest Day at the end of the month. The January rain could not stop our great turn out for both events. We headed into February with our three-day President’s Cup tournament followed by a fabulous Dos Dias, the first week of March. Everyone got into the Hoedown with dancing, cocktails, putting contest, fun pictures and many more events. A big “Thank You” to the committee planning such a successful Guest Day! Going forward we have our Club Championship starting on March 14th, then another Member/Member and Guest Day in April.

We are so excited to welcome new members to our Ladies Club this year! One of our new members, Barbara Competello, tells us “I have played at so many clubs all over the valley and everyone I talk to has said the MCC Ladies are the friendliest and they loved playing with them.” This made her want to check out MCC and moved here to join our LGA. We are very happy to have her and all of our new members.

We would like to give a big shout out to our Monterey Ladies Fall Team.

This year they joined the Century Desert League. On January 16 the overall winners were announced for the season 2022-2023.

1st Low net went to Monterey Country Club! Congratulations go out to all 25 team members!

to change or evolve. After years of minimalism, homeowners are turning toward warmer colors, fabrics and wallcoverings. So, what’s new for home décor in 2023? Based on some of the latest interior decorating information, here we go.

Greens and other Warm Neutrals. Colors come in two ranges: warm and cool. Warmer colors are stealing the moment away from grays and pure whites. Gold and avocado green colors were all the rage in the 60’s and 70’s. They changed stark white kitchen appliances by making fall colors like oranges, tans and brown very popular. If you like the clean look of white and gray, but want trendier colors, try cream and beige or other earth tones instead.

Some Home Decorating Trends

Make a Comeback. Sooner or later, all interior design trends seem

Texture seems to be in demand. Texture gives neutral colors like beige, stone, and grays more of a “pop.” A suggestion to a more glamorous look can also be accomplished with gold or shiny metallic centerpieces or jewel tones, such as amber or emerald green. Today’s wallpaper is peel and stick, thankfully, unlike wallpaper in the past. Consider mirrors with gold or silver speckles. Or a touch of luxurious fabric or grasscloth wallpaper on surfaces. And not to forget, fancy crystal chandeliers, maybe even in the bathroom. Consider plaster with a designed pattern that can add depth to colors before painting. You can also achieve a similar look with special paint finishes. Murals and larger prints give unique personality, texture, and color. All this brings back memories, I’ll bet!
