President's Message

The 2015 golf season has officially started with a fabulous Kickoff Champagne Brunch, held last Saturday the 7th of February, in the Pavilion of our new home course, Haggin Oaks.  We had 90 enthusiastic women in attendance, and the rain held off for the members who played 9 holes on the MacKenzie course, or who took advantage of the discount on merchandise at the Super Shop, after the brunch.  

 

We held drawings for Golf Course rounds, and other donated items to benefit our charities, and although the official number is not quite in, we netted ~ $1700!  Thank you to all of you who participated.

 

Everyone is so impressed with the number of golf events, education opportunities, orientations and socials scheduled for this season, so make sure you check the eBlast and website, and mark your calendars so you do not miss out.   I challenge you, to go over all the listings, and dare you to find something that does not fit your schedule and ability.  When you see the following women, please let each of them know how much you appreciate all their hard work and dedication that goes into making this a stellar year for us all:  Pam Katros-Events; Fern Lukka-Membership; Nancy Lyons-Member Services; Barbara Richards- Finance; Del Sayles-Owen-Golf Programs and Services;

Tammy Pinnick-Marketing & Sponsors; and, Theresa Stamey-Communications.

 

A huge "Thank you" to the sponsors, who support our chapter with their generous donations.  Please make sure you support them, when you find you are in need of any of their services.   Everyone was so excited, when Tammy Pinnick made the announcement, at the Kickoff, that she signed Markstein Beverage Co. as an Eagle Sponsor! Denise Pulver, representing Markstein, and a new member, unveiled a beautiful banner that will be displayed at our tournaments.

 

February is National Women's Heart month, and EWGA "I Heart Golf Month". Please have your blood pressure (BP) checked, and remember the number 120/80.  Your blood pressure should be at or below that number. You can lower your BP, just like you can lower your handicap, by proper diet and exercise.  Add the 120 to the 80 to get 200, and that is the minimum number of minutes per week we should each be getting of moderate exercise.  That translates to 30 minutes every day.


 

I am very excited about this golf season, and look forward to seeing you at many of the events.

 

"Keep it on the short grass!"


Sunny Mills  - President 2015

It's an EAGLE!

 

EWGA Sacramento would like to introduce our 

2015 Eagle Sponsor:
Markstein Beverage Co. of Sacramento!  

They are a fourth generation family owned and operated beer distributor located in the heart of Sacramento.  Markstein has been selling and distributing local, regional and national brands of beer in northern California since before prohibition. The Sacramento operation, founded in 1972, employees approximately 400 team members and is highly committed to community involvement through their focus on responsible consumption, alcohol awareness and underage drinking programs.  

With their sponsorship, we also have two new members joining our organization.  Please welcome Denise Pulver and Barb Sady, both fellow golfers. Be sure to say hi to them!!! (If you were at the Kickoff Brunch, Denise was the one who won the set of golf clubs!)  And you're probably wondering how you can support our new Eagle sponsor.  Well....drink beer!!!  But not just any beer!  Just to name a few:  Bud, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra (Official Beer of the PGA Tour), Shock Top, Corona, Modello, Pacifico, Sierra Nevada, Samuel Adams, Track 7 (local brewery), Guinness, Firestone Walker and Speakeasy.

To learn more about Markstein, be sure to check out their sponsor page on our EWGA website!

Perfect Your Swing!

Join us for the GolfTEC Swing Evaluation on Wednesday Evening, February 18 in Rocklin


Start the season with a solid foundation.  This comprehensive 60-minute session uses video analysis and motion measurement technology to view and quantify the motions of your swing, showing you exactly what needs work. This is the standard GolfTEC full evaluation, which is a $150 value. The EWGA member price is only $99. If you decide to continue with classes, GolfTEC will execute the evaluation for $1 and give you the normal 10% EWGA discount. The purchase of credits would have to be the night of the evaluation.

 

 "A picture is a thousand words.  Based on the video of my swing, I know what is required for a smooth swing.  I wish I did this years ago." -- Michael D...a satisfied GolfTEC customer

 

Our very own Barb Richards had this to say about her experience ..."their instruction tools make it easier to see what needs to be corrected."
