July is typically the month that activity picks up with the two women’s golf clubs in Port Townsend.

In addition to the weekly games played on Tuesdays and Thursdays, this month Wednesday evenings include the Camus Prairie’s Women’s Evening Golf Clinic. Twenty women signed on for the first of four clinics to be held in July from 5:30-7:30 p.m., which are designed to encourage women who are interested in learning to play golf.

Group and individual instruction was given by four volunteers from both Discovery Bay and Port Townsend. Wanda Synnestvedt, Jerri Torsen, Terry Graham and Jane Peoples gave instruction for the first hour which was followed by a social hour and no-host bar in the clubhouse. Thirty women gathered to enjoy light snacks and visit with members of both women’s golf clubs.

South of town at the Discovery Bay Golf Club, 16 women gathered for the game of the week and the first round of the club Captain’s Cup competition. A surprise was in store for all, as Dee Sweeney shot her first hole-in-one on the par three #3 hole. As tradition requires, she was delighted to host refreshments for all her playing partners of the day. The Low Net competition round was also won by Dee Sweeney, with a net score of 66!  Second place went to Sherilyn Ulland with 70, and a third place tie of 72 was taken by Jodi Stone and Wanda Synnestvedt with 72.
