1 CELEBRATING 17 YEARS OF SINGLES GOLF IN AMERICA Tampa Bay Chapter- American Singles Golf Association April 2010 Golf Committee THREE PINK BALLS WIN AT PLANTATION PALMS On Sunday, March 7, 28 ASGA golfers (7 foursomes) teed off the first hole at the beautiful Plantation Palms golf course in Land O Lakes with one pink ball per foursome. (To this day I m confounded why one of the male players asked why we weren t using blue balls. okay.) The format was to see which team(s) would return to the club house after 18 holes with their pink ball, playing a scramble format where the pink ball was rotated on every hole among the four players. Surprisingly three teams managed to not lose pinky throughout the tough course. The other four teams lost pinky somewhere between holes The pressure for them was then off and they could relax and enjoy the game more. Dinner was provided in the club house afterward. The top two teams had a tying score of 71 and the winner was determined by a scorecard playoff. In first place were Ken Polkoszek, Phyllis Johnson, Larry Klotz and Beverly Houghton. They received Plantation Palms golf shirts (nice gift!). The second place team was Mark Little, Gay Wiese, Bill Boyd and Frances Panico. The third place team with a score of 77 was John Greene, When What Where Sat., April 10 Casual Golf 12:30 p.m. Airco; Clearwater Sun., April 25 Golf Outing 1 p.m. Wentworth; Tarpon Springs Sat.
