Rocky Bayou Country Club

Below are the results of our Member-Member Tournament that was held December 15th.  We lost a few players to postponement and weather, but we managed to field a good group.  Congratulations to the winners and all the other participants for hanging in there through the threatening weather.  I believe in the end, a good time was had by all!  Thanks and appreciation are sent to Judy Haugen and her fabulous committee for a good tournament and the wonderful luncheon held last week.

The next 2 Tuesdays are listed as Casual Play.  The Weekly Play Committee is taking a 2 week vacation from organizing our game.  If you would like to play, please do.  The LGA still has the morning scheduled.  Be at the Clubhouse by 8:30, partner-up and have a fun day of golf and fellowship.  Regular play resumes on Tuesday, Jan. 5.  Our game will be Odd Holes Only – 1/2 handicap.

Have a great Christmas and New Years holiday and we’ll see you all next year!

Vicki Wilson & the Weekly Play Committee

YESSSSSSS, WE CAN!!

What a glorious day for golf and RBCC showed up!!  We came in second place (+14) under Gator Lakes (+16) and one over Eglin (+13).   Way to go, girls!!

We have Regatta Bay coming up next on Jan 4 and then Emerald Bay on Jan 25.  Check your calendars and be sure to sign up.  The sheets will be in the lounge tomorrow.  We can take 9 players with 2 alternates for Regatta, but no alternates for Emerald Bay……….. sign up quickly!!

On November 16th the LGA and Rocky Bayou Country Club hosted the Emerald Coast Interclub.  We had 90 plus women playing that day.

Our course was in great shape, which was noted by many of our guests.  We thank Wayne and company for all their efforts to keep it looking so great.

Beth Franz did a great job in organizing Interclub.  It is an enormous task.  We started the day by being greeted by our male golf friends who loaded bags and helped get gals to their carts, followed by our famous RBCC breakfast, thanks Sharon for organizing it.

Then we were off to a beautiful day of golf.  Our team came in third place for the day.

For all the men who gave up their Monday morning golf day for this event, we thank you; and, we wish to report that more than $3000 was made by RBCC for this event in the form of green fees, lunches, and beverages paid by our guests.  We hope that Andy made some $ in the pro shop as he held a special sale for the Interclub players that day.

Golf was followed by a lovely lunch prepared and served by Bon-ney and the Food & Beverage staff.

Thanks, again to all who made items for breakfast, played in the outing, helped with the scoring, and even cleaning up.

Just want to keep ALL informed about our Interclub play.  Our team for Eglin is in place and we will be playing Monday, Dec 7.  Please keep us in mind and hope we make a great showing on a challenging course.  “Who doesn’t love a challenge??”

Our next LGA tournament event will be our Member/Member to be held on December 8th. Please note the date change, the committee asked to have the tournament and luncheon the same day. If there is rain, they have an alternate plan. The format will be 2 person scramble, $20.00 per team.

The lunch will be $11.00 and include Quiche, Croissant, Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette, Cheesecake with chocolate and strawberry, coffee and tea.

There will be applications in the lounge and a separate sign up sheet for lunch. All social mem-bers are invited to join us for lunch following play on the 8th of December.

We just completed our Member Guest Tournament on October 20th. It was a smashing success, headed up by Chairman Bonnie Weideman and her committee. On behalf of all the LGA we thank them for all their time and efforts in putting this on. Thanks to Sharon Osthoff for organizing our breakfast. As usual, it was up to RBCC LGA high standards, which was mentioned by many of our guests. Bonney and her staff served us a wonder-ful luncheon as well. We had 56 participants in our outing, 28 two-person teams.
