We wanted to give a special thank you to Sam Davis for donating the golf club for our raffle. Patrice Ayala won it and we raised $90.00 for the league.
Our league season has ended for this spring, but will start again the first Wednesday of November (November 1 2023). All ladies in Sunshine Estates are welcome to join. It’s fun and a great way to socialize.
We will continue to play all summer at 9:00 a.m. every Wednesday. It’s very informal and a great way to improve your game and have fun doing it. (Bring $1 for a prize fund.)

Hello Sunshine Friends and Neighbors,
The 37th annual Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament (GNDGT) on March 2-4th is fast approaching. This is a 27-hole, 3-day golf scramble, with an awards dinner on Saturday evening. We have had more than 180 people participate in this event in the past. It is a fun tournament for 55+ aged persons. Each year we encourage Sunshine Country Club residents to participate in any way they are most comfortable. We know that everyone is not a golfer, but this event is a perfect way to get involved in our community and “Let the Sunshine In!”
Although the GNDGT Committee will purchase many gifts for the Award Dinner, in the past, we asked residents to consider preparing a gift basket and donating it for the drawing/awards dinner. Gift baskets have been a great success as a personal prize during the awards dinner. Many residents donated these baskets, which the recipients greatly appreciated during the drawing.
This year we would also like to open the possibility of Donations. If you would like to participate with a donation, here are some ideas: Gift baskets valued at $25- $50, filled with “new items,” (In past years, many of the baskets were filled with items of their favorite sports team or “New” items purchased from any local retailer or even your hometown). You might consider donating a Gift Card. You can donate any amount from local retailers, including restaurants. Direct monetary donations are also welcome; don’t hesitate to contact the committee chair to make this happen.
Gift baskets and other donations must be received before the March 2nd event date.
Our goal is to have fun before and during this event!
Don't hesitate to contact the GNDGT Chairperson, Tony Tramel, at 337-693-6344 or trtramel@gmail.com regarding donations and/or other questions.
Respectfully,
Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament Committee
