MountainView/Preserve Club Championship
The MountainView/Preserve Women’s Golf Association (MPWGA) recently hosted its annual Club Championship, sponsored by Sonora Investment Management. This two-day tournament brought together golfers to compete for the coveted Club Champion title and grand prize in a low gross score format. The competition also included flighted prizes for low gross and net scores, along with Closest to Pin (KP) awards on all par 3s. The event was held at MountainView Golf Course, due to recent overseeding at The Preserve course. Despite some initial coolness, the weather proved ideal for golf.
Championship Highlights
A standout performance led to a repeat victory for the Club Champion title. The winning golfer posted an impressive overall low gross score, surpassing their previous year’s performance. This dedicated MPWGA member, who joined in 2018, expressed both joy and surprise at their win, humorously acknowledging the challenges of consistently achieving strong rounds.
Following tradition, the previous year’s champion organized the event and selected this year’s trophy, a unique wine carafe. The winner was thrilled with the prize, jokingly remarking on its suitability.
After the tournament, participants gathered at the MountainView ballroom for a celebratory awards luncheon. The event featured a delicious meal, and resident golf pro Mike Karpe announced the prize winners, recognizing the outstanding performances of all golfers.
