2015 Memories of
Summer Events & Activities
* The end of the year was also filled with
rewarding activities and fun. We held an Adaptive Sports Program at
Mountain Creek meeting on December 30th which resulted in the signing of the
partnership between Mountain Creek and Helen Hayes Hospital along with the
signing of the bylaws and the election of Directors for the Adaptive Sports
Program at Mountain Creek 5001(c)(3) non profit orgainization with John elected
President and Buffy elected Secretary/Treasurer making it possible to kick of
the ASP-MC during the 2016 ski season. That evening Buffy and John met
some old Hidden Valley ski buddies at the Allendale Bar and Grill to celebrate a
great 2015 and an even better 2016!

* Buffy's sister Irene hosted 2015
Thanksgiving at her home in Saugerties New York. It was a great time to
celebrate the Holiday Season with friends and family. Thanks Irene for a
wonderful Thanksgiving.
* Buffy & John have been competing in a
season long head-to-head golf tournament for the 2015 golf season. The
competition is played against GHIN handicaps with each match contested for low
net, match play, closest to the pin and low putts honors. The chart below
reports on the end-of-season outcomes of this competition. Buffy has dominated the 2015 with low net wins 51% of the time against John's 41% win record. Buffy also dominated the match play completion with a win record of 39% to John's 29% win record. John was able to win both the closest to the pin and low putts competition. A traditional
"The Annual Buffy & John Invitational Golf Championship" was played on October
12th at the Wild Turkey Golf Club. John scored a 81 to Buffy's low net
score of 90 to win the low net competition, won 7 holes to Buffy's 1 hole to win
match play, had 2 closest to the pins to Buffy's 1 closest to the pin to win
closest to the pin and he also won low putts with 33 putts to Buffy's 36 putts.
This was the first time a sweep was achieved in this competition.
* The golf season is coming to an end with
Buffy & John participating in end of season tournaments such as the Crystal
Springs Crystal Cup Championship and the Hickory & Scotch Tournament at
Ballyowen Golf Club. Buffy ended up capturing 2nd place in the Crystal Cup
Ladies Division. Photo albums of these events can be viewed on Golf Event

* Bring the kids up right! On
Monday, September 14th Buffy & John practiced that rule by inviting son-in-law
Patrick and grandson Reilly Jones to play golf at Minerals Golf Course. It
was a beautiful day in spite of the fivesome of ladies in front of us who took a
hundred swings on each hole making for a slow round.
