The bOld Lax team was created because of a desire to find time for grown women to PLAY. We often live vicariously through our children as we get older, so I wanted to create an opportunity for women to gather and be the player in our own game for a change. The program was so successful in the fall of 2021, we created another season in the spring and then played in a tournament in Lake Placid in the summer! It has been one of the most rewarding volunteer efforts I have ever created because of very vivaciously vocal women who have told me how much it's made an impact in their lives. I'm so grateful for my awesome community.

Hamorton Woods is a community of 110 homes that share 87 acres of open space with a pond, trails, sledding hills and beautiful views.
