It was a beautiful morning for our 2026 year-end brunch and annual meeting at Lakepoint Restaurant & Event Center on Loch Lomand. It was great to have this event back at this beautiful venue! Highlights of this celebration included the announcement of our new 2027 Board Officers, with Stephanie Kappel moving over to President, Gayle Watson stepping in as Vice President, Judi Moses as Treasurer, and Amy Read continuing as Secretary. A big thank you to our outgoing President Laurie Schoenbaum and Treasurer Carolyn Merritt!
Other highlights include the presentation of our annual contributions to the Bella Vista Animal Shelter and Courtesy Van, each getting $500. This year's most improved golfers were Sue Santori (11 strokes) and Marg Bogner (18%). Robyn Wolters was recognized as the 2026 Hall of Fame winner! In addition, our club champions and hole-in-one winners were also recognized. See 2026 Year In Review for further details.

Silvia Aubele Gets Hole-In-One!
Silvia Aubele got her second Hole In One on October 4th at Kingswood Golf Course hole #12 (115 yard) using a Callaway 7-iron and TaylorMade Speedsoft ink ball. Her first Hole In One was on Berksdale hole #7 back on June 25th, 2016. The highlight of her Hole In One on Sunday was that she was playing with her son Brendan Aubele as well as dear friends Bonnie Crow and Carl Cartwright. Finally more good news is that she paid into the HIO pot to be able to receive a share of the pie for 2026. Congratulations Silvia! ⛳🤗

2026 Rules Focus - Golf Etiquette
Golf is a game, emphasizing tradition, respect, and integrity. Golf etiquette is a set of unwritten rules focused on safety, respect for the course, and maintaining a steady pace of play. Key practices include repairing divots/ball marks, staying quiet and still while others hit and keeping up with the group ahead. It's also about the spirit of the game – playing with honesty, following the rules of golf, celebrating successes, and handling defeats with grace.
5 key rules:
1. Pace of Play: Keep up with the group ahead.
2. Be Quiet & Still: Stay silent and still when others are hitting
3. Course Care: Sand divots, repair your ball marks (plus one extra), limit driving on the fairway and rake bunkers.
4. Green Etiquette: Don't walk on someone's putting line; walk around it.
5. Safety & Courtesy: Yell "Fore!" loudly and immediately if you hit into other player. Be a good sport.
