In addition, four people (Linda Hodgson, Evelyn Weasner, Karen Kozlowski and Betty Hudi) scored eagles and three people, (Linda Carey, Linda Shultz and Betty Gibson) got Holes-in-one. Marie Marvil played the most rounds (32), Nancy Beighley was the most improved and Linda Carey was the T cup winner. Alvin Dennis, #4 - December 20 MWGA Betty Gibson Happy New Year to Everyone.
