Have You Signed Up To "MELT"?
"Who doesn't love a massage after 18 holes of golf?  This is what my MELT roller does for me (home workout).  From the moment I took my first MELT class I was hooked.  Always having some sort of aches or pains (lover back, neck, shoulder, IT band) was just a part of my life but since I started using my soft foam MELT roller things are looking up!  It certainly is worth checking out a workshop and seeing if this is something worth your while." ~ Gloria Tellez, EWGA Member

Make your plans now to attend this class on March 13, 2015!

There's Still Time to Sign Up for The Rules of Golf:  Match Play
Registration Deadline Extended to March 13, 2015

"I really appreciate the rules of golf clinics.  It is 100 times more interesting than that little blue rules book, which is more like a reference book in code.  John Nakamura is a very good teacher and makes learning about the rules more interesting.  He also encourages discussion which helps with the learning curve.  Don't throw away the little rule book.  It will start making more sense after the rule classes!"  ~ Kayleen Kott, EWGA Member


EWGA Gets Social at the 4th Annual Lilani Wealth Management Mixer


 

EWGA Chapter President, Sunny Mills and Par Sponsor and mixer hostess, Rashida Lilani.

 

Lilani Wealth Management held yet another successful event on March 6.

The event was well attended and fun was had by all.  There were games, prizes, good food and great company.


The Final Snow Bunny for 2015

Our last Snow Bunny League play was on Sunday, March 1 ~ from Snow Bunnies to Fog Bunnies and finally Sun Bunnies!  It was a beautiful day.


 

We played at Wildhawk Golf Course and the game of the day was "Train Wreck".  WE had 3 new members join us.  Welcome to Pat Stewart, Linda Paist and Denise Pulver.


 

The week before two members who joined last year after the Snow Bunny League was over, Kristin Montgomery and Denise Arend joined us.  I personally think Snow Bunny League is a great way to meet fellow members!!

 

"Train Wreck" scores went from a high of 27 to several zeros!!  I have been paid handsomely not to tell you who they are!

 

The Winner with 27 points was Sharon Blume.  She won a $25 gift certificate at Haggin Oaks.  The 2nd place people with 24 points were Julia Hadley, Kathleen McKilligan and Susan Platner.   And, 3rd place was Tillie Melton with 23.  Second and third place winners received 2 sleeves of balls as their prizes.  Kayleen Kott and Linda Reid had 13 points and each one got a sleeve of balls.

 

And That's All Folks....for this year!!
