Red was the color of the day followed closely by many shades of pink as the Saturday Couples Valentine’s Day Scramble took place on yet another bright and sunny Florida day in February.
Forty-seven couples arose early on February 15 to play on a course gaily decorated with all things Valentine’s Day inspired, including red, pink, and white windsocks; red foil hearts; and the cutest little gnomes dressed in their hats of red marking new and easier tee box locations.
The committee consisting of Robin and Dave Fritz, Susan and Bill Roberts, Linda and Jeff Charlesworth, and Sharon and Jim Croxton designated five specific holes to challenge the participants’ ability to aim and land closest to the actual pin placement, the windsocks, or the flags for a chance to win recognition along with prize money.
The results of those contests follow:
Closest to the Pin Hole No. 1 Men White Tee Players — Bob Carpenter
Closest to the Windsock Hole No. 3 Men — Don Rhodes
Closest to the Windsock Hole No. 3 Women — Coleen Birmingham
Closest to the Pin Hole No. 8 Women — Sue Short
Closest to the Flags Hole No. 13 Men — Terry Brown
Closest to the Flags Hole No. 13 Women — Rose Whitehouse
Closest to the pin Hole No. 16 Men Gold Tee Players — Dick Hansen
After those individual winners were announced, it was time to award the winning teams with
their prize money. The top five winners were as follows:
5th Place — Jeff & Linda Charlesworth and Brian & Jane Ward
4th Place — Greg Rood & Linda Hood and Carter & Anita Johnson
3rd Place — Larry & Barb Cassidy and Ron & Coleen Birmingham
2nd Place — Rich Triptow & Janet McEachern and Terry Brown & Donna Ireland
And…drum roll please…
The winners with a score of 49 on a Par 60 course were Dick Hansen & MaryLou Collins and Mike & Shirley Berry.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
