SPARTA — The Lake Mohawk Golf Club Women's Association celebrated its annual Ladies Member/Guest Tournament on June 26, with the assistance of Steve Demmer, GM/Director of Golf and his assistant Nick Hyman.
The day could not have been more glorious with bright sunshine and moderate temperatures.

Each dining table was decorated with flags and décor representing a country with token gifts provided for each participant. Golfers started their day with a light breakfast before venturing off to play clever games prepared for each hole with travel posters on each tee.
After 18 holes players were treated to champagne and lunch. The kitchen staff prepared a travel themed buffet, sushi, Reubens, brie cheese to name but a few of the delectables. Laura Nifenecker of Café Pierrot generously donated cookies and pastry for dessert.
