Join the Fun!

Nury Duerst

President/Events

My name is Nury Duerst and I presently serve as President of the Plantation Ladies 9 Hole Golf League. I first became involved with the league six years ago after moving to the community with my husband. My golf was far from impressive but I enjoyed the ladies, meeting neighbors and the socialization. I soon began volunteering to run events within LG9. This exposed me to the back room of planning, Board interactions and the club staff. The experience has been extremely rewarding. By way of introduction, I was born in Cuba and immigrated when I was 4. I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin (BA-Education, MA-Curriculum and Instruction). I taught Spanish to grades 6-12 before retiring. I love to travel, cook, craft, beach time, golf and time spent with family and friends.

Adrianne Takash

VP/Membership

I have been a member at Plantation Golf and CC since January 2024. My husband Dave and I moved here from the Atlanta area and are year round residents. I only started golfing in March of 2023, but I love it and continue to work on my game. I joined the Ladies 9 Hole League last year. It’s such a fun way to get to know people and golf in a very supportive atmosphere. All the ladies are so great. I am a retired HR Professional having had a long career with Vanguard the investment group. Dave and I have 5 grown children between us. We are so happy to be a part of the Plantation community and are truly enjoying it.

Sally Glavin

Treasurer

I have been a member of the Plantation Golf and Country Club since June 2022. My husband Jim and I are from the Chicago area where we still have our family home or as Jim refers to it, our over priced storage unit! We are Florida residents now and spend at least 6 months and 1 day in this beautiful area. We love it! I played my first 9 hole league round in January 2023 and I can honestly say that the women in the league were among the most welcoming and friendly that I've encountered. My golf game has actually improved too! By April of that year I became treasurer and that is where I still am today. I was an accountant for many years before staying home with our kids. We have 3 grown children who all live with their spouses in Chicago. I enjoy traveling, reading, tennis, and golf, but mostly I enjoy spending time with our family and friends and living this beautiful lifestyle that we are so blessed to be a part of!

Gail Guimond

Secretary

I joined the PL9GA in 2022, shortly after settling into the community as a seasonal snowbird. Being a part of the league has allowed me to meet many amazing ladies and to develop special friendships, while sharing our love of golf. It has been a delight to serve on the board as Secretary and to work alongside this talented and energetic team. My husband Paul & I met in university and worked together for 25 years managing a business in the automotive industry. Retirement has allowed us to spend our summers in the beautiful cottage country of Ontario and escape to Florida to avoid our cold & snowy Canadian winters. The best of both worlds! When I’m not golfing, I enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, gardening, baking and reading.

Games

I became a member of the Plantation Golf and CC and PL9GA league in 2022 and have loved every minute!! With my husband, Mark, I spend the summers in Wisconsin which allows me to continue to golf almost year-round. I have been golfing on a more regular basis since I retired 10 years ago. Being in an office environment as a Tax Manager for my entire career, I find it so enjoyable spending time outside connecting with nature. I love to run, but due to "aging knees", I have had to cut way back on my runs, but I find other ways to keep active. Joining the PL9GA has provided me with many benefits including, lasting friendships; expanded social circles; friendly golf competitions; and encouragement to improve my golf skills. I feel very fortunate to be a member of the PL9GA and thoroughly enjoy serving on the board with a very special group of ladies.

Recognition and Awards

Renee McConahy

Co Chair - Membership

I have been a member at Plantation Golf and CC since 2013. My husband Bob and I are high school sweethearts are coming up on our 50th wedding anniversary. I did not golf until I was in my late 50’s to early 60’s. I started out here at Plantation on the novice league as it was called back in the day. As a novice I played from the orange tees. I formally joined the Ladies 9 Hole League 4 or 5 years ago and continued playing from the orange tees. I can proudly state that this past season I play from the Ladies regulation red tees! (We won’t talk about my handicap, however). We have lived in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Florida. I am retired as a speech and language pathologist since 2013. The L9GA is a fun and diverse group of women. It is a pleasure to be a part of such a welcoming golf community!

Andrea Parker

Communications

I've been a golfer since the age of 27, although living in the Northeast, it was hard to put in enough time to really get better. I have been a member of women's 9-hole leagues, and Wine and 9's off and on for years before I became a member here at Plantation. In my spare time I'm a professional singer, love to exercise, with swimming being one of my favorite activities. I also love to cook healthy meals and absolutely love to entertain. I have been with my husband for 15 years, and although, I do not have children, I have two Boston Terriers, and a stepson that round out my "family". I love getting to know other ladies and having fun on the golf course! My goal as the communications chair has been to modernize and update our communication platforms, social media, and website presence.
