Those April showers spilled over to May. Now, record rainfall in June has caused tough conditions that have challenged our schedules, our stamina and the waterproof-ness of our golf shoes. We, hardy (and hearty!) women golfers were undaunted and slogged through with some amazing results.
Dellwood hosted Stillwater Country Club and Mendakota Country Club for the Tri Club on Wednesday, June 4th. This was our second year of participation in this event where the low 10 net scores count for each club. Thirteen players from Mendakota, 20 from Stillwater and 17 from Dellwood vied for the prestigious crystal trophy. Pressure was on us because we had home course advantage and because we took home the trophy last year. It was very close but, we did it! A repeat! Scores were: Dellwood 758, Mendakota 762 and Stillwater 765. Many thanks to Patti Brekke for chairing this event! Next year: at Mendakota (three-peat?)

Looking Ahead…
