The MountainView/Preserve Women’s Golf Association (MPWGA) hosted their annual Member/Guest on Tuesday, March 19 and Wednesday, March 20, with both days at the Preserve Golf Course. The Safari Adventure themed event was co-chaired by Melanie Bassham and Jenni Farquhar and was sponsored by Helen Graham Realty.

MPWGA members and their guests paired up for a wild time, replete with pre-event gatherings, safari themed photo ops, a ‘Gorilla’ drive challenge, and a dinner/raffle. Each golf day was a separate competition, with five flights based on handicap (eight Member/Guest teams in each flight), and payouts through fifth place. Tee prizes included a pitch and putt bag, and cute animal head covers. For full results, visit mpwga.com.
