SSLGA Memorial Match Play Golf Tournament

  • January 2026
  • BY JANE WARD

The Sabal Springs Ladies’ Golf Association Memorial Match Play Golf Tournament kicked off the season with tremendous excitement and a strong turnout.

There was a magical start to day one. We opened the tournament with an unforgettable highlight: Vickie Pirello delivered pure magic by soaring her shot straight into the cup on Hole No. 16 for a spectacular hole-in-one. Congratulations, Vickie!

Our first tournament of the season was a great success, and we extend a warm thank-you to all who participated. Your enthusiasm and sportsmanship set a wonderful tone for the year ahead.
