Christmas Ball - 2012
Saturday, December 15, 2012
What a better way to start off the weekend after a week of dreary overcast skies. The weather was perfect for the Annual Christmas Ball. The event chairperson, George Betz, divided the participants into two groups to play 4 thirty minute games of doubles, matching partners with high/low handicaps.
|
George & Rich did a great job attempting to bring order to chaos as they matched up high handicap players with low handicaps. As usual, no one listened when it was time to match up the red & white chips, but that is all par for the event. |
The Players: George B, Rich B, Carol B, Pat W, Vincent M, Antonia M, Cass G, Jim P, Mijai P, Joe Z, Dave Y, Les A, Charlie G, Tom S, Don G, Greg B, Lindsey B, Jim H, Janet C, Bob C, Charlie G, Dick O, Rachel O, Wes R, Cathy R, Betty Y, Barbara E, Nancy C, Anne Marie Z, Maggie S, Nancy A, Cutler F, Yvonne C
Players came dressed in their Christmas attire with colorful hats, santa pants, fancy knee hi’s, beads, bells and balls. Many were after one of the coveted “useless” prizes for the person with the biggest balls, the most balls, and the best hat.

PERV the Elf was on hand quoting Christmas classics culminating in a valuable prize for that person pushing the right button and matching the selected quote

Beverages, cookies, and snacks were served during play. After the awards were handed out, BBQ was served poolside.
There was an excellent turnout by the new members...trying to figure out what was going on...this was not like anything they learned in class, but it was obvious they are quick learners.
