Carol Boothe didn’t just play well at the South Plains Women’s Golf Association event on July 7; she absolutely owned the Shadow Hills Golf Course, walking away as the medalist with a scorching 77. That’s a score that puts the entire field on notice, especially with the season already heating up.
The Team Standings Are Getting Tense
While Boothe was snatching individual glory for Hillcrest, the team competition was tight! LakeRidge Country Club and the Rawls Course actually tied for first on the day with 6 points each. Hillcrest Golf & Country Club wasn’t far behind, securing 5 points, leaving Shadow Hills with 3. But looking at the season standings, LakeRidge still holds the top spot with 13 points, just one point ahead of Hillcrest’s 12. Rawls is hanging in there with 10, and Shadow Hills has 5. This isn’t just a friendly game; these clubs are battling for real bragging rights all season long. Every single point matters, and LakeRidge is clearly the one to beat right now.
Individual Players Stepping Up Across Every Flight
It wasn’t just Boothe showing out. Caylene Caddell from LakeRidge absolutely crushed it with the low net of the entire field, carding a 58. That’s a massive performance! In the Championship Flight, Robin Evans from Rawls grabbed low gross with a 79, while Jan Bufkin, also from Rawls, took second low gross with a 92. Christine Newman, again from Rawls, had the low net with a 76. And guess who also had low putts in the Championship Flight? Yep, Carol Boothe again, with an incredible 28!
Down in the First Flight, Celia Wheeler of Shadow Hills nailed low gross with an 81, and Cathy Palmer from LakeRidge had both low net with a 66 and low putts with 37. Katrina Stanton, from Hillcrest, and Barb Shideler, from Rawls, tied for low gross in the Second Flight with 87s, but DiAnne Hudman of Hillcrest got the low net with a 63, and Caylene Caddell, who we already shouted out, had low putts with 30.
Suzanne Comer from Hillcrest took low gross in the Third Flight with an 89, and Rhonda Pruitt, also from Hillcrest, scored second low gross with a 95 and low putts with 31. Cindy Nelson of LakeRidge pulled off the low net with a 68. The Fourth Flight saw Toni Pope of LakeRidge grab low gross with a 91 and low putts with 36, while Stefani Cunningham, another LakeRidge player, had a low net of 59. Finally, in the Fifth Flight, Liz Karr of LakeRidge had low gross with a 101 and low putts with 34, with Leigh Hughes of Shadow Hills taking low net with a 72. Talk about a loaded leaderboard across all the divisions!
With LakeRidge barely holding onto that season lead, and players like Carol Boothe and Caylene Caddell dropping monster scores, you know the competition is only gonna get hotter. Every single stroke matters in these events, and it’s clear these golfers are leaving it all out there. Who’s gonna make the next big move to shake up those standings? We’re on the edge of our seats!
