| New 2 Golf and Get Ready Golf |
| Congratulations to our Members who completed New 2 Golf and Get Ready Golf!
We were pleased to offer classes this spring for brand new or returning golfers. The classes were taught by Haggin Oaks coaches who introduced our members to the culture, skills, and fun of golf. Members learned basic etiquette, rules, how to book starting times, how to play golf, how to select the right golf equipment. They also received instruction on the simple, basic fundamentals of putting, chipping and the full swing. Those who completed "Get Ready Golf" got more one on one time with the golf coach for a deeper understanding of the short game and golf swing. So welcome and support these members as they join in the summer fun!! Kathleen Wheeler, Evelyn Fallon, Connie Clark and Val Alexander

Spring Fun League #4 Recap
|
|
The fourth EWGA Spring League Fun Play was held at Bing Maloney Golf Course on May 9th. Twenty golfers came out to play VARIOUS PARS in which they played their own ball through the 18 holes, but then were able to select their best two scores among the par 3s, the best five scores among the par 4s and their two best scores among the par 5 holes. The players were divided into two flights - Flight 1 consisted of golfers with a 22 or less handicap and Flight 2 consisted of anyone with a handicap of 23 or higher. Awards were presented for first and second places in each flight. Ties were settled by scores on the #1 handicap hole (#9).
Flight 1
- 1st place with a 29 - Vicki Philpott (in a card off with Clare Payne) - $25 Morton Golf Gift Card
- 2nd place with a 29 - Clare Payne - $15 Morton Golf Gift Card
Flight 2
- 1st place with a 25 - Janet Cino - $25 Morton Golf Gift Card
- 2nd place with 26 - Kayleen Kott (in a card off with Denise Arend) - $15 Morton Golf Gift Card
Final Spring League Fun Play is May 30th at the MacKenzie course at Haggin Oaks. It will be a 4-person team competition called
PINK LADY. There is a pink ball involved and two player scores on each hole are needed for the team's score. (P.S. you won't want to lose the pink ball either) Complete rules will be sent out to the registered players before the event.
If anyone (not in the League) wants to play after the field, please let
Vicki Philpott know at
[email protected] and she'll make sure to secure sufficient tee times.

Vicki Philpott, Kayleen Kott, Janet Cino

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.
