***GALA – Lesbian Only Golf League’s Monthly Tee Time***
GALA is a lesbian only golf league, which plays monthly at the public courses. While you do not have to be a good player, you do have to have played so that you know course etiquette and how to get around 18 holes. The format is a four person best ball scramble which allows women of all abilities to participate. There are prizes for closest to the pin, longest drive and the team with the least amount of putts. We have a yearly planned party/meeting along with other events after golf, either at the course or at someone’s house. This group is also a good way to meet other golfers who like to play golf. To get on the mailing list, get the schedule or sign up for the next outing, contact Lesley at this email address:
