The Winnemucca Ladies’ Golf Club’s regular season wrapped up Oct. 29, with the Presidents’ Cup and their annual awards luncheon. 

Since the weather was not being cooperative in letting the ladies play nine holes for the President’s Cup, they had an indoor putting challenge instead, using a practice putting green that Laurie Pickett provided.

Each participant was given a practice putt before the count was started for the most putts made out of five chances. 

Pam Hope came away with the President’s Cup making 5-of-5 putts. Congratulations, Pam.

During the end of season awards ceremony, awards were given for birdies made throughout the season, the most improved golfer, and the club championship. 

The ladies who received a ball marker with the number of birdies made engraved on the back and a ball marker clip were Maria Bengochea (1), Lisa Carlson (5), Vicki Celio (1), MaryLou Curti (1), Cortney Keiser-Ayers (7), Melissa Murphy (1), Laurie Pickett (1), Marlea Pointer (1), Anne Sample (2), Eleanor Taylor (1), and Lori Woodland (1). 

Lisa Carlson received an engraved coffee tumbler for the most improved golfer for the season which is based on how her handicap improved from March to October. 

Laurie Pickett’s name was added to the Club Championship plaque located in the clubhouse.
