THOUGHTS TO PLAY BY:

On the putting green you will be given a two stroke penalty for the following situations:

Touching the line of putt (except when removing sand, loose soil, leaves and other loose impediments, when placing a club in front of the ball without pressing it down, when measuring the distance, lifting the ball, in pressing down a marker, when repairing ball marks, etc. on the green, when removing movable obstructions.

Testing the surface of the green.

Standing astride or on the line of putt (except if the act was inadvertent or to avoid standing on another player's line of putt.

Playing a stroke while another ball is moving after a stroke on the green (unless it was player's turn to play).

Ball in motion after a stroke from the putting green strikes a ball at rest on the putting green.

I am originally from Cumberland, RI where I began my career with General Motors. I relocated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1989 where I continued my career. I worked for General Motors for 30 years as a millwright/welder, with the last six years at Allison Transmission in Baltimore. I retired from General Motors in 2006. I currently work part-time for Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort.

I was widowed in 2004, and met a wonderful man (also widowed) in 2006 on a blind date. We were both retired and had been coming to Myrtle Beach for some 20 years with our golf groups, staying at the same hotel, the same week, and never met. We both loved golf and enjoyed the area very much. It is always hard to leave family and friends, but we knew this is where we wanted to retire. We moved here in October, 2006 and August 30th will be our first wedding aniversary.

I was golfing at Quail Creek with another couple one day and the woman told me about EWGA. After working with all men for 30yrs. I didn't know many women so this seemed like a perfect opportunity to make new friends. I joined in 2007, and have met so many wonderful and diverse women from all over. It is amazing how many are from your own back yard. I enjoy the little extra events that are done throughout the year, such as couples tournament, match play, bowling, etc. I do encourage any woman I may meet playing to join and share so many of the benefits with them.

Larry and I each have one daughter. He has two grandchildren, and I am still waiting for mine. My daughter, Christie, is a wedding photographer and has her own studio called Azure Photography. So far, her three cats and one dog are my grandchildren she tells me.

Besides golf, I enjoy doing stained glass panels and mosaics. I also am a scrabble fanatic. Doing crosswords and building puzzles are also ways I spend some free time.

My most memorable golf moment was meeting Annika Sorenstam at Bulle Rock, during the McDonald's open, and getting an autographed ball. I did find getting an eagle on number 9 at International Club exciting. I'm still waiting for that Hole-in-One feeling. It seems with every round, no matter how many, there is always a memorable moment to take away.

I do believe that those who bring sunshine and happiness to others cannot keep it from themselves. Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life.
