Feelin' HOT, HOT, HOT...

by: Stephanie Jennings

This is how Jewell “Kip” Malick, from the Dallas Chapter, was feeling after her spectacular round at the 2008 EWGA Texas Semi-Final Championship which was held at the Golf Club at Champions Circle in Fort Worth, TX. She scored a fantastic 79 and contributed much of her win to caddie, coach and friend Anna Schultz.

Of course, Fort Worth in the middle of July can push the 100 degree mark, but this is nothing unusual for the Ladies representing the Houston Scramble team as they defended their winning ways with a stellar net score of 67.

The Golf Club at Champions Circle, a Troon Golf course, is a little gem just north of the city of Fort Worth. The many lateral and regular water hazards not only posed challenges for the players, but also provided a lovely fitness workout for the Tournament Committee as they went through and painted each and every hazard on the course. Although tedious, a well marked golf course helps players in deciding how to proceed in accordance with the USGA Rules of Golf.

And how can I forget “Lil’ Deb”, from the Houston Chapter who made her appearance in Fort Worth. She was passed on to the Dallas Scramble team who strapped her to the top of their cart where, I’m sure, she got a fantastic tan. For those who are not familiar with Lil’ Deb, please visit the Houston Chapter website to read more. Welcome Home “Big Deb” and thank you serving our country in Iraq!

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all who participated.
