JULIA BOLAND 2009 TRANS AMATEUR CHAMPION	The WOMEN'S TRANS 80th AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP is currently being conducted at The Country Club of Lincoln (Nebraska). The tree-lined course is set up at 6,230 yards, Par 36-36-72. It will be the third Trans held at The Country Club of Lincoln. Patti Rizzo, current University of Miami Golf Coach, won the 50th Trans played at CCL in 1980. The 105 current entries include defending champion, 24 year-old Julia Boland, a graduate student at Texas A & M, from Sydney, Australia and 2009 USGA Girls Junior Champion Amy Anderson from Fargo, No.Dakota. Also, Dottie Ardina from the Philippines, who was a finalist in the Women's Western GA national championship played at Rochester CC (Minnesota) in June. The Country Club of Lincoln Chairman, Golf Professional Dave Malone, said, “I applaud the participating competitors for all the hard work, dedication and sportsmanship to the great game of golf. Thank you for joining us Trans week at The Country Club of Lincoln.”
Highlights of the first round at The Country Club of Lincoln: Beverly Mendoza of Mandaluyong, Philippines, recorded her first hole in one on the #10, 144 yard par 3 hole. Rachel Blum of Jacksonville, FL was slightly shaken when she approached her tee shot in the fairway of hole #2. She said that she finally hit a fairway after starting her round on #10 when, lo and behold, her ball was being guarded by a large hawk. With a club in hand, she approached the hawk to battle for possession of her ball...only to watch as the hawk grabbed the ball in her claw and flew away. A Rules Official was quick at hand to lend her a ruling but Rachel kept an alert eye on the sky for more hawks!


Champions Kim Eaton and Christie Austin FINAL RESULTS The Quarry Slideshow	2010 Four-Ball Championship The Quarry San Antonio, Texas April 27-29 The weather was terrific...a mixture of warm and windy on Tuesday, warm and sunny on Wednesday and warm and overcast on Thursday...BUT the mood of the tournament never changed: FUN. Our headquarters hotel was located just a block from the riverwalk and many enjoyed the true appeal of the city of San Antonio...just like the weather: WARM. The Quarry course was in perfect shape and presented a challenge when the winds kicked up. The staff at The Quarry could not have been more cooperative. They gave the players and the Trans everything they requested with a smile. Our thanks to one and all. Our Champions, Kim Eaton and Christie Austin performed as a team and walked away with the trophies. They played the course like champions, finding fairways and greens and putting like they were born on the course. Congratulations to Kim and Christie.
