Judith Cohen, posting the low net score of 70 on Thursday, Aug. 31, won the final spot in the season-long quest for “Charm Girl.” Judith will be competing against the five other Charm Day winners, Jane Lee, Andrea Alpine, Soonee Kim, Agnes Shin, and Barbara Musante, for overall Charm Girl. The Charm is a longstanding 18ers event that is played throughout the year on six different, random play days. The low net of the day becomes the Charm day winner and is awarded a commemorative towel.
On Thursday, Nov. 9, the six individual winners will compete for the 2023 Charm Girl title. Whoever manages to bring their “A” game (and most likely a bit of luck) will win the title. Congratulations to all of the individual winners.
