THE HARBOR HILLS LADIES GOLF ASSOCIATION BY NIKKI HOFFMAN

The Harbor Hills Ladies Golf Association has been in existence since 1991. This year, the Association consists of 52 members. “If you are a member of Harbor Hills Country Club, resident or non-resident,” President Ann Mahoney explains, “you can play with the LGA.”Stroke play is played weekly with a secondary game built into the play. For example, the group might play a two-person Best Net Ball of Partners game where gross scores are recorded for each individual. In addition, the best net ball of the two team partners is tracked. The team with the lowest net score is the winner. The format changes each week, making every week interesting and different. The games are flighted, giving fair competition to all levels of players.Members of the HHLGA participate in a Harbor Hills Match Play tournament. The hole-by-hole competition is played from November through March. Members set up their own matches and keep track of points until they play with everyone in their flight. The person with the most points in their flight wins!The Harbor Hills LGA is active in The Mid Florida Challenge Cup. This competition involves seven clubs: Harbor Hills, Eagle Ridge, Monarch, Arlington Ridge, Plantation, Deer Island and Mt. Dora Country Club. It’s a match play format with a partner and is played at all the clubs mentioned from September through April.Change it up with a day on the water!
