Working women who golf may want to clear their Tuesday evenings for the summer, to join a new nine-hole league at Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course. The women-only league is not replacing or even competing with the established and much-loved daytime ladies’ league, just offering a casual evening alternative.

“Even members of the ladies’ league might want to come play,” said Michele Terney, one of the evening league organizers.

Terney prepares to tee off.

She and co-organizer Carol Whiteside are hoping there are more women golfers like them, who want to get in a little golf, but not on their already busy weekends, or during the day.

“I work part time and Carol works full time, so we can’t play during the day,” said Terney, adding with a sigh. “I guess some ladies are really lucky and don’t need to work.”

Timing is only part of the reason they wanted to try the league. The other part was competition, which neither of them was really interested in.

“We’re looking to improve our game,” said Whiteside. She’s been golfing close to 20 years, she said, “and I’m definitely not quitting my job to go play in the LPGA tour.”

Casual is the word they both used to describe the league. Something that a golfer would enjoy, but not obsess over.

“I don’t hear about any casual men’s leagues, but I don’t know about every men’s league,” said Whiteside. “Tuesdays are just different.”

“This is just an easy nine holes after work,” said Terney.

Whiteside plays a quick round of golf.

The ladies’ night league has openings for up to 16 players, four foursomes, starting at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 2, at Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course. The league runs through September.
