The Club Championship held January 15 and 16 provided some friendly competition ending with another great luncheon. Kudos to all who participated and congratulations to the winners!
Two long-time members, Claire Mick and Peg Lacovino, were recently recognized for all they do for our group behind the scenes (from event posters to helping in the kitchen). Their efforts are very much appreciated.
Members have defi nitely got into the swing of the season including a Hole in One on 2 West by Anne Stephens-way to go Anne! February 12 th , 2:00pm, brings the always-fun Valentine Couples’ Challenge, with dinner to follow in the Starlight Ballroom, so watch for details. We can depend on our hard-working refreshment committee to add to this ‘LOVE-ly’ event. The 2019 Flocking for the Cure was a fundraising success, so beginning in February there will be three “fl ocks”. If a fl ock of Flamingos appear in your yard, it will cost you a $10 donation to remove them, then you send them on their way to someone else. You can guarantee in advance that you won’t be ‘fl ocked’ by donating $20. Cash only (no checks) for special envelope at the Pro Shop. A list of members, initialed noting who has been ‘fl ocked’, will be posted in the Dungeon. All monies raised are donated to Partners for Breast Cancer Cure, a Ft. Myers organization with funds remaining in this area.
A reminder from Jan Hoffay regarding turning league scorecards in to the ProShop: if a member has a Birdie, a Chip-in, or a Hole in One! please circle the hole number adding an * with an asterisk by the person’s name at the bottom of the card. Jan reviews the scorecards weekly, and awards are presented at the December General Meeting.

TEE OFF TIME By Margie Blackwell
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
Our new club champion is Kathy Montemaggi. Bravo, Kathy, you played like a champion! Flight A winners in 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd places are Paula Lafreniere, Bobbie Asper and Jean Reimer. Mary Ciezadlo took 1 st in Flight B, with Margie Blackwell and Sherry Leverre coming in 2 nd and 3 rd . Flight C winners are Barbara Luke, 1 st , Pat Bedard, 2 nd , and Marty Riley, 3 rd . Flight D winners are Bertie Dugo in 1 st and Jean Wiley in 2 nd . There was cooler weather and a bit of rain on the last day of the tournament, but we were able to fi nish. And with a couple of scores tied after 18 holes, there were two playoffs on #1 West.
A big thank you to the pro shop for their help, a round of applause for all the ladies who participated and congratulations to Kathy, Mary, Barb and Bertie! Job well done! There are a few pictures from the tournament posted in the dungeon. HOLE IN ONE
Denise Rose got her fi rst hole in one. It was on #3 West and she didn’t even see the ball drop in… she was picking up her tee! Congrats, Denise!
Rules Bobbie Asper has been providing the league with great information about the new rules; in particular, the new world handicap scoring that became effective January 1 st . Also, with the mama and baby alligators on #5 South, Bobbie has clarifi ed what to do if your ball should go into the hazard in and around them. If anyone is still unclear about these or other rules, Bobbie is always willing to provide an explanation. COMING UP
Check in the dungeon and sign up for upcoming events – like the Member-Guest event on March 5 th . Let’s “fl amingle” – it will be a super fun day with lots of laughs and prizes.
SoftBall News at Del Tura
By Pam Price
The 2020 softball season is underway, and Del Tura is fi elding two teams. The “Amigos”, who are the defending champions of the league are looking to defend their title and bring it back to Del Tura for the third year in a row. The second team, the “Diablos” are giving the Amigos some friendly competition! The addition of the Del Tura “Diablos” provides the opportunity for many more people to play week to week. Based on results, it is likely the Amigos will be in the A division of the league and the Diablos will be in the B division. That means both teams can bring home the 1 st place trophy for their respective divisions!
The very fi rst game of the season found the newly formed Del Tura Diablos hosting the defending champion Del Tura Amigos! Some of us feared (me, for example) that the Amigos would shut out the Diablos, however that didn’t happen at all. In fact, the Diablos had one inning where they maxed out with the fi ve run/inning score rule! That wasn’t quite enough to overcome the Amigos, but I did happen to notice a few nervous Amigos for the remainder of the game. As a fan, the best part of the game was when Dick Rose (Amigos) pitched to his wife Denise Rose (Diablos). I am pretty sure my psychic skills told me that Dick worried about what to do, (I can’t let her get a hit, but it won’t go good at home if I strike her out…maybe I need to walk her). Denise had other plans, as Dick delivered his pitch and Denise met that pitch with a solid base hit! Denise also made the third out of the 6 th inning by catching a high and long drive deep into center fi eld. WAY TO GO Denise! The game ended abruptly in the 7 th inning, when the lights went out and the teams were left in the dark. The Amigos had won, the Diablos had given them more competition than they expected AND fans had a great time, cheering for both teams.
Speaking of the fans: if you haven’t been to a game, please consider showing up at Carmellita fi eld to support the teams. The Amigos have a good following, and we need to build up a solid following for the Diablos. The players have shared they love the cheering that the fans provide, and the more fans, the more motivated them become. Maps are available on the softball bulletin board, and it’s an easy 20-minute drive to Punta Gorda’s Carmelita fi eld. All games are scheduled to start at 5:30, but they frequently will start a few minutes early, so I recommend being there by 5:15. On February 29 th , the teams will hold a “Meet the Team/Fan Appreciation/Fund Raiser” event in the Starlight Ballroom. Players will be selling tickets for $7.50, and food will be prepared by the team players. This event is always a good time, and the players will grill you a hot dog, hamburger or both! There will be a short program, with a few awards presented, our annual rendition of “Who’s on First”, and other entertainment. Tickets will be available from all players beginning February 1 st . Games are scheduled every Monday and Wednesday in the month of February. The Diablos have white shirts, with black shorts/pants. The Amigos have Red shirts and shorts/pants. They play at the same time. The Diablos also currently have openings for cheerleaders and fans. No interviews required, just show up!
