Photo by Petra RiveraParting is such sweet sorrow, but the Women’s Golf Association of Longboat Key Club took some of the sting out of the end of season by hosting a luncheon on April 30 in the club’s Harbourside Ballroom.
Ninety-nine golfers from both the Key-Niners and the Eighteen-holers groups started their games at 8:30 a.m. and said so long to the season with a lunch served by the Key Club. Mary Taylor and her committee organized the luncheon.
A mix of full-time Longboat residents and snowbirds make up the two golf groups. Many of the full-time residents had forlorn farewells for friends who were leaving, but they were already excited for them to come back in the fall.
“What I have been seeing is that people are coming back to the Key earlier and leaving later,” said golfer Arlene Klein. “So there is that to think about it as we go into the summer. We can’t wait for everyone to come back, but until then we will continue playing golf every week.”
Lynn Hancock thanked everyone for another successful season for the Women’s Golf Association. She especially thanked the Key Club staff for hosting them and their hard work.
This year, the groups switched from keeping score on paper to a smartphone app called Golf Genius. Hancock said the switch was successful and made games go a lot smoother.
“This year was a mix of the old and the new,” said golfer Elaine Dabney. “With the new (scorekeeping) program and getting a lot of new members in both the Key-Niners and the Eighteen-holers, I think we are set up a great new season next year.”
