Family, Friendship, and Fun on the Course... Laura Reeves

This month, we’re shining the spotlight on longtime member Laura Reeves, whose connection to Woodbridge spans more than three decades. Not only is she serving on the Board of Directors, but Laura is also co-chair of the 18-Hole Ladies Group; chaired the Centennial Committee last year; co-chairs the Membership Committee this year; and has also served on the House & Social Committee. To say she has been involved in the Club is an understatement — and why staff chose her for this month’s Member Spotlight.

From family traditions to friendly competitions, Laura’s story is a testament to the community spirit that makes our Club special.

Q&A with Laura

Q: How long have you been a member at Woodbridge?

I’ve been a member since I married my husband, Steve, in 1993—32 years ago!

Q: What brought you to the Club originally?

My husband. We got married on the course in his parents’ backyard and had our reception at the Club.

Q: What's your favorite way to spend time here?

Playing golf with friends, socializing, and volunteering.

Q: Who’s your favorite person to golf with and why?

Sharon Daegling is my go-to person. We started playing golf together and have improved together. She can still out-drive me, but I’m working on that!

Q: Tell us a fun fact most members don’t know about you.

I was born in Petaluma and had a horse named Sassy.

Q: What’s your go-to post-round meal or drink at the Club?

Hummus, washed down with a nice Chardonnay!

Q: Any proud moments on the course you'd like to share?

Watching our son, Bradley, grow up on the course, excel in high school and at the University of Arizona, and eventually turn pro. Oh, and the holes-in-one he has made. I’m still waiting for my first!

Q: What's your handicap, and what’s your goal for this season?

I’m currently a 27 handicap, and my goal is to get down to a 25 before the end of the year.

Q: How do you spend your time outside the Club?

I work one day a week (Mondays) for Dr. Morrissey in Stockton. I volunteer for the LOEL Center and the Lodi Sunrise Rotary Club. Most importantly, I like to spend time with my family.

Q: What advice would you give to a new member?

You are the future of our Club. Enjoy it and get involved!

Q: Do you have a favorite hole on the course?

I’d say Hole #8 – Vineyard (Middle). I’ve birdied it a few times and even came close to a hole-in-one!

Q: Who inspires you—on or off the course?

My parents inspired me. They taught my brother and me values that have shaped who we are today.

Q: Do you play other sports or enjoy other hobbies?

I used to play tennis, volleyball, baseball, and ping pong, but not as much anymore. I enjoy going to SF Giants and Sacramento Kings games, but my favorite is cheering on the SF 49ers—tailgating and all! My husband and I also love traveling and wine tasting together.
