Turkey Shoot and Awards Banquet

This past Saturday I played in our club's "Turkey Shoot." It's something they do every year at the local scrappy nine-hole course just for fun. Then we all went over to the Treehouse (we are the Treehouse Golf Club, after all) for the awards banquet where we had lunch and they gave out all the awards for the year and raffled off prizes. My raffle prize was a box of Maxfli M3 balls, but where I really made out was with the awards.


I knew I'd be getting the club champion trophy, of course. I think they did a really great job with these trophies, too. They even made the extra effort to have the golfer be in a woman's image on mine. Maybe we can get some more women to join this club!

I guess I hadn't realized there would also be a trophy for B-flight champion. I also didn't know I had won something for overall low net. Or that I had placed third in president's cup points (you get points for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes, as well as tournaments entered, closest to the pin, long drive, etc). So I got trophies for all those things as well. I wore a path from my seat to the presenter!

All in all, it was a fun afternoon!

Here's my new trophy display area.

From left to right: (wall) 2nd runner up, President's Cup; (standing) Low Net;

(wall) B-flight Champion; (standing) SCGA Champion of Club Champions*;
(wall) Club Champion; (standing) Hole-in-One, Apple Mountain.
I never received anything for my other ace at Tierra Rejada or it would be there, too.

*Side note: Some people have suggested that I get my name engraved on that SCGA plate. I don't know, though. It seems like if I alter it, it's not the prize I won. What do you think?
