Martellaro most improved at Butte Creek
The Butte Creek Women’s
Golf Club held its annual Christmas brunch and awards ceremony last week.
Susan Martellaro was named Most Improved Player of the Year and was presented an engraved crystal bowl for her accomplishment. Martellaro dropped her index 6.5 strokes during the year.
Other members garnering some awards for their efforts throughout the year were: Medallion Day flight one: Joye Smith; flight two, Joan Bequette. Most birdies: Vicki Ellcessor with 12. Most chip in’s: Jeanie Lowe with 5.
A highlight of the event was the attendance of Evelyn Hayes. Hayes was a former club member, women’s club captain, and will turn an even 100 years old (or should I say young) in March. Awesome.
The Butte Creek Women’s
Golf Club counted one best ball net score on the par 4 holes, and
two best net scores on the par 3 and par 5 holes for its weekly game.
Taking first was the team of Karla Dreiss, Paula Rich and a blind draw with a score of 103. The team of Jeanie Lowe, Yumiko Hankins and
Sue Bechtol took second at 109. Rounding out the payoff spots with a score of 108 was the team of Sandy Fortino, Marilyn Brownfield and Darlene Thomasson.

Spectacular shots
Lilia Crawford eagled the par 5, 14th hole at Bidwell during the ladies day tournament last week.
Crawford achieved her first career eagle with a pitching wedge approach shot from 50-yards out, as attested by her playing companions, Betty Linzy and Wendy Donahoo. Crawford’s eagle three on her scorecard (maybe for a net one, but at least a net two) was no doubt a big factor in her tying for low net in the first flight with a score of 66.
