Joan Binnings and Lana Yagle, Tournament Co-Chairs, devised a unique format, never before enjoyed by the Women 18ers for the Thursday, September 21, play day. The tournament, named Six-Six-Six, meant partners played six holes as a best ball, six holes as a scramble and six as alternate shot. Although it sounds simple, this type of game is extremely tough and requires a lot of strategy, forgiveness and creativity.
