We had some much needed rain this past week, which unfortunately put a damper on the Upper St John Valley Lady Seniors tourney. The ladies made the best of it and stayed and had a game day. Lots of laughs and fun … thanks for making the best of it.

This week’s results from Pairs and Spares Golf are as follows: There was a three-way tie with all teams scoring a 34. The winners were determined by a tie-breaker on the ninth hole. First place was Steve Merry, Dawn Merry, Brenda Carmen and Heidi Hollis, while second place went to the team of team Ricky Bates, April Bates, Tom Ryan and Jarice Kelley. Third place went to Stuart Kelley, Becky Kelley, Brent Kelley and Candy Kelley.
