The call went out for RRWGA members to select their partners and enter the Aug. 9 Member-Member Tournament hosted by the Play Day Committee (Kathi Ackermann, Beverly Anderson, Staci Brown, Yvonne Callaway, Candy Conway-Mikulik, Ana Corey, Paula DiFonzo, and Linda Scott). The format would be 6, 6, 6: 6 holes scramble, 6 holes alternate shots, and 6 holes best ball. The WGA added to prize money and hosted the women for a special lunch of grilled chicken sandwiches, mac and cheese, and, of course, ice cream!
The weather was cooperative, even topping out in the 90s. Seventy-six women were divided into 38 teams and four flights. Play was quite competitive. Winners were awarded for three places—team awards: first place $90, second place $60, third place $40.
