PWGA NOTES & QUOTES Summer 2015 PWGA Notes & Quotes Pacific Women’s Golf Association Summer 2015 Torrey Pines Golf Course, La Jolla, CA Bay Area News by Lynn Harvey Is the year really half over? As I put away all my red, white, and blue ‘Fourth of July’ decorations, I realize how fast 2015 is flying by. In the Bay Area, we’ve already had three successful play days including our Tournament of Club Champions (congratulations to our Low Gross Champion - Carole Pillow of Sunward WGC and our Low Net Champion - Jane Sullwold of Alameda and Redwood Canyon WGC) and our Team Play Qualifier (congratulations to West Valley, Callippe, Las Positas, and Lincoln Park teams who will be representing us in the PWGA Team Play Championship in September).
