This was the final event for the 2023 season. Thank you to PSWGA President Joy Eberhardt and her crew for running the league this year. The 2022 Golfer of the Year, Claudia Benda of Alliance, presented the 2023 Golfer of the Year traveling trophy to Scottsbluff’s Londa Maron. Points are accumulated through the summer for placing, birdies, hole outs and attendance to determine the top golfer.
Joy conducted the fall meeting and the ladies from Torrington were elected as next year’s PSWGA officers. Joy also shared a humorous letter about our aging bodies. The meeting concluded with the singing of “We Are the Champions.” Music and laughter ended the season on a positive note.
