Swing for the Girls - Tell all of your friends!!!
This is our biggest fundraiser of the year for The First Tee of Greater Sacramento and we need your help to make it successful!    

EWGA members and their friends and family will form threesomes and the fourth will be a girl from The First Tee organization. This is a great opportunity to watch young girls from The First Tee interact, play golf and learn from their First Tee experiences.


 

Come out and enjoy the experience of playing golf with our up and coming stars of tomorrow!  All levels of golfers (women and men!) are welcome -- this event is all about fun!!
 

Details:

  • Sunday, May 31.
  • At Morgan Creek Golf Club in Roseville.
  • If you would like to play with anyone in particular, indicate their names when you register - just remember that it is only 3 adults in each group.
  • There will be a Barbeque Buffet following golf, and we will be auctioning and raffling lots of great rounds of golf and maybe a few other things too (see below), so bring your checkbook or credit cards!! Proceeds benefit girls of The First Tee, so be generous!
  • Included in the fee are: greens fee, cart, range balls, and barbecue.
The Auction and Raffle:  This is where we need help!  

It would be wonderful if members would be willing to donate items for the auction or raffle.  It doesn't have to be golf related, so think "outside of the box" and, please, let us know if you can help.  Help us make this a great event for the girls!  If you can help, please contact Linda Reid. She'll put you in contact with the right person.

The First Tee of Greater Sacramento Needs Help
by Sunny Mills, President

 

I wanted to share a unique volunteer opportunity with you to enjoy the US Senior Open, while helping a wonderful non-profit in our region. 

 

As the "charity of choice" for the upcoming US Senior Open June 22-28th at Del Paso Country Club, The First Tee of Greater Sacramento has been charged with manning the concession stands at the event for the entire week. They are seeking to cover a total of 795 shifts during the week. For scheduling purposes, they would like to have volunteers sign up prior to the end of May. In exchange for providing volunteers for concessions, The First Tee of Greater Sacramento will receive a portion of the concession proceeds, which will go a long way in helping them serve the over 17,000 local youth they work with on an annual basis.

 

You will receive free parking and a ticket to be on the grounds for the entire day of your shift(s).  You can arrive earlier or stay late and watch the event before or after you volunteer. Lunch is provided and there is no uniform to purchase, just wear a white shirt and khaki or black bottoms.

 

Click here to learn more and for volunteer registration

 

Thank you for your consideration of this worthy effort! This is separate from the volunteer effort we have on the 16th hole for that day, so please use the following contact info as opposed to contacting our club.  Please feel free to contact  The First Tee of Greater Sacramento at (916) 808-0959 or [email protected] with any questions.
