The Ringer Results as of August 10th - 2 More Chances

The Ringer is a new game added to the season this year.

Description

It is a season-long game that celebrates each person's best golf performance.  Imagine taking that net eagle you score on hole 16 one week and adding it to a net eagle you score on hole 4 the following week!  In this game, your best net score on each hole during the ladies league season is added together for one awesome final score at the end of August! We will pay 4 prizes in the game: 1st, 2nd, 20th and 21st.  You don't need to play every week to qualify.  Just play... And know that all your best holes each season will count... At least all the ones you play on ladies day! Dates:  June 1st - August 31st  Dave and staff will be taking care of the recording of scores and posting updates in the women's locker room.

RESULTS AS OF AUGUST 10, 2016

Link to Google Sheet

We have 2 more Wednesdays to improve our best score. Thought you would like to see the results and plan your strategy for the next 2 weeks.
