This was the final event for the 2022 season. Thank you to PSWGA President Joy Eberhardt and her crew for running the league this year. The 2021 Golfer of the Year, Tami Pierce of Gering, presented the 2022 Golfer of the Year traveling trophy to Alliance’s Claudia Benda. Points are accumulated through the summer for placing, birdies, hole outs and attendance to determine the top golfer.
Joy conducted the fall meeting and acknowledged the gals over 75 years of age that continue to participate and enjoy the league. There are more than ten of these ladies! Also, Persnickity Penelope stopped by to give a few awards of her own. Music and laughter ended the season on a positive note.
