The 2023 Annual Tournament at Briarwood Country Club was a great success! Briarwood members Janice Aiken and Tangy Buchannan put on the event and spent all year organizing so that we would have an event to rival any two-day guest invitational in the Valley. The 2023 tournament had over 94 players and guests from all over the country coming to play in what is now one of the most successful ladies two-day tournaments in the North West Valley of Phoenix. On March 6-7, Briarwood Country Club was filled with lady golfers playing a two-person better ball format. Monday over 95 ladies showed up with the hopes of playing their best game ever! The theme was “Let’s Go Camping” and members and guests did not disappoint with their team uniforms! After round #1, there was a wonderful lunch in the ballroom and an open bar. Most ladies were drinking iced tea because the first-ever ladies’ “horse race” started shortly after lunch! The horse race format was terrific because all teams played at least two holes before the elimination rounds started. My sister and I made it to the final hole and lost in the “blind chip-off.” Guests were dressed for the occasion! My sister Jo Ann Biszantz came from Destin Florida to be my partner. After two days we “left everything on the course” and luckily came in the money with a respectable finish! Until next year!
