The Annual 1-70 Challenge
Saturday, October 6, the St. Louis
team won the I-70 Challenge for the second year in a row, trouncing the Kansas
City Metro Chapter team by 11 strokes. Outstanding
play by Jackie Dixon and Jenny Kile, whose net scores after handicap were 75
and 78 respectively, led the way to victory.
Ann Relling and Nancy Rodney, backed up by Carol Gleason, Patti Means,
Patty Redington and Faye Siegel contributed to the victorious effort.
The tournament was played at the demanding Eagle Knoll Golf
Course in Hartsburg, Missouri. Eagle Knoll has been recognized several times
by “Golf Digest” magazine as one of the best courses in the state. It is also a beautiful course, especially
this time of year when the fall colors are beginning to come out. Perhaps distracted by the natural splendor,
players found the 1st and 17th holes to be particularly
trying as many players posted double-digit scores on these layouts that require
precise and well executed shots to have a chance of staying in play.
The weather was a stark contrast to last year’s inaugural
event, which will long be remembered for cold temperatures and the constant,
unrelenting, soaking rain that followed players through the entire
afternoon. This year was summery, cloudy
and breezy – a welcome change that improved moods, memories and scores.
Following the tournament, the winning team stopped on the
commute home to have a celebratory dinner at Boulevard Bistro in Winghaven,
where they shared many stories of the day.
It is believed that some of these stories were true.
This was an unforgettable event that you do not want to miss
next year. Make a note on your calendar
for next October to join us as the St. Louis Chapter seeks to three-peat and
the KC Metro Chapter struggles to restore its honor and obtain its revenge.
