What an exciting end to our Handicap Tournament at South Hampton. The shootout started on the #1 handicap hole #13, a par 5 with all 8 finalists hitting fabulous drives. Lenore Allen then proceeded to surprise us with an outstanding chip in eagle, net 2 albatross to win the shootout and the handicap tournament. Congratulations to our winner Lenore Allen and to all the finalists including Shauna Snyder, Shirley Budden, Deidre Wray, Younghee Lee, Terri Wensell, Debbie Somes and Sandy Brokmeyer. The spectators who followed the finalists helped make the shootout even more exciting and memorable. Thanks to all of you. Please go to our website at myjwga.com to view all of today’s results.
