Welcome Back to a Returning Member from 2010!

Fun was had at Eagle Vines!
by Pam Katros

As we headed onto Highway 12, we left the sunshine behind us.  The course was pretty foggy and cold.  The temperature dropped seven degrees on the car thermostat.  People were buying warm clothes in the pro shop for a 20 percent discount.  I think this happens a lot there.

 

The fog lifted and the sun came out and what a gorgeous day it was.  Such a beautiful course, but boy was it a challenge.  We had 22 golfers take advantage of their "winter special" which included golf, range balls, and  deli sandwich or polish/hot dog and soda or beer.  It also included two closest to the pin contests, each winning a round of golf at Eagle Vines.  The winners were Sharon Blume on hole #14, and Skip Rochette on hole #5.

 

The game we played was called Aces Wild.  You took your net score and subtracted all your one putts.  The grand prize winner was Tillie Melton followed by Jeri Paik in second.  They each won a gift card to Starbucks.

Fast Tracker Deadline Extended

FAST TRACKERS - The Registration Deadline has been extended to March 20,2015!

 

Last year our Fast Trackers program was a resounding success for the 13 women who signed up to improve their golf performance.  Led by volunteer instructor Clare Payne, these sessions provided moral support and camaraderie while helping newer and returning players get more comfortable with basic rules, etiquette, posting scores, setting goals and practicing for maximum improvement.  This year's Fast Trackers will also include pay-at-the course 9-Hole Practice Play on the Haggin Oaks Arcade white tees.

 

FAST TRACKERS STARTS MARCH 23, 2015

                            

So Click Here to Sign Up

 

Clare Payne and her fabulous mentors are back leading the way!

 


 


 

 

 


Spring Tune Up

SPRING TUNE UP CLINIC - Sign Up Now!

 

We had six EWGA members attend this wonderful clinic on February 21, 2015 and you have another chance to attend if you missed it!  It is for those who want to brush up on the basics.  Haggin Oaks Tenured Instructor, Don Pottle, reviews the fundamentals of the game.  Everyone who attended picked up new skills and polished up their game and Vicki Philpot, EWGA Member had this to say: 

 

 

"Don is a great instructor. His review of golf mechanics and suggestions on your swing have positive payoffs. I credit Don for my "eagle" at Lincoln Hills and my 37 on Wildhawk's front nine!"


 


 

 

So are you ready to take your game to new heights?


 

We are holding the clinic again on March 24, 2015


 

The deadline to register is March 19th, so click here to sign up:

 

 
EWGA Gets Social at the Kathleen's World of Travel Social 

 

We're all ready for a trip to the Caribbean now!!!  Our Birdie Sponsor, Kathleen Wheeler and Sandals Sales Rep, Ronda Rivett provided us wine, appetizers, and lots of great information about all the Sandals locations in the Caribbean.  In addition, there was a raffle drawing for a bottle of wine, which was won by Kathy Souza's husband, Rod Souza.  Then there was a putting contest afterwards.  There were only two that were within 15-18" from the pin.  And the winner of the new putter is...  Pam Katros!  Congrats Pam!  


 

And thank you to Kathleen for an enjoyable evening! 

 
If you were unable to make it, be sure to contact Kathleen for whatever your travel needs are or visit her website!
 
Monday After Work Play is Starting...
Monday after work play is about to get started!  For the time being play will alternate between Woodcreek and Sierra Pines.  Once in a while we may try to get out to Morgan Creek or Diamond Oaks.  Play will begin at 4:30 p.m. until days get a little longer and start times will be pushed out to 5 p.m. if needed to accommodate golfers needing later tee times.  

The first fun play day is March 23 beginning at 4:30 p.m. at Woodcreek.

Vicki Philpott is coordinating, so if want to play and haven't been in contact with her, you need to do so right away.

March is Discover Women/EWGA/Golf Month
So we have discovered that our member and Par sponsor Rashida Lilani did something very special this month.  She scored her "first Eagle"!  On Thursday, playing with fellow EWGA gals at Turkey Creek, she hit her second 89 yard shot on hole 15 right into the hole using her 8 iron.
