  • GIRL'S GOLF GETAWAY To NAPLES - Jun 16, 2022
    Julie Healy and Michelle Florea planned an unforgettable weekend!! New friendships were formed and old ones rekindled. From the happy hour at Harold’s to the lovely hotel with a beach view and the beautiful yet challenging course, we all agreed we would go back in a heartbeat !!

    COLOR WARS was a fun-filled two-day accumulation of team points consisting of a multitude of gross and net scores, longest drives, and closest to the pins. On Day #1 the blue team had the lead, securing wins in most categories. But the red team was not giving up, held their heads high, and came back on Day #2 ready to rumble. It was a hot one, but that didn’t slow anyone down. At the end of the day, Team Blue held on to the lead & won!
