Lisa Schlesinger from Norbeck Country Club wins the Low Gross title at the MSGA-WD Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship on a June 2, 2016. Lisa birdied 2 holes to bring home the victory for a one over par 72. Finishing in second was defending champion Connie Isler from TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm with 75 and finishing in third, Sally Ratcliffe from Elkridge Country Club scoring 77.
Winning Low Net is Chan Chung from Needwood Golf Club with a net 67. Second and third net were determined by a match of cards with Overtta Moore from Turf Valley coming in second and Bonnie Logan from Forest Park Golf Course taking third. Both had a net score of 69.
This year the event changed from a two-day to a one-day tournament. Participation was great; we had 52 ladies playing in the event. Play began with twosomes at 8:00 am then we quickly went to threesomes. Feedback was favorable with the smaller groups as it allowed for better pace of play.
Kenwood was in excellent condition and at 5,334 proved to be a formidable opponent to the players. The weather cooperated with mild temps in the morning then warming up to the mid-80’s.
Next year the Mid-Amateur is scheduled to be held at Suburban Country Club on June 8.
