Take the Day Off ~ Play Granite Bay 
Granite Bay

Such a wonderful course and the chance to play here doesn't come around very often.  It's spring, the weather is perfect, what more could you want?  

Monday, April 6th
10:00 Shotgun Start
$57 members; $67 non-members

You've got until Monday, March 30 to register to play!!!


Hump Day Fun Play Starts April 8th
Starting April 8th, 2015 at Haggin Oaks, Arcade Creek, please join us for 9 holes of golf, tee times start at 5:30. 

You do not have to play regularly, just come out when you can.  No registration is required, but please let Judy Mayes know if you are planning to play. 

This is a very popular event.  We only have room for 16 players and EWGA members are given priority.  The "early bird catches the worm", so the sooner you let her know every week that you plan to play, the more assured you are of a spot.  Fees are paid at the course at time of play.

Guests are welcome and we usually have room but check with Judy before you invite your guests to come, just in case.   

 

P.S. Don't forget to plan to stay for dinner after to enjoy some social time.

Let's Practice with Purpose!
Who says practice has to be lonely, unfocused and boring?  Our Supervised Practice Program is perfect if you want to improve your performance.  This class targets those who want the camaraderie of practicing with others while under the supervision of a professional instructor.  Participants will be able to practice their full swing and short game at a full featured practice facility.  The first class session begins Thursday, April 16th and the Registration Deadline of April 9th is fast approaching, so sign up now.

The Golf Expo at Haggin is Coming
As usual, EWGA Sacramento will have a booth at the Haggin Oaks Golf Expo so that we can tell everyone how great we are!! 

We need help running the booth for 3 hour shifts between 8:30am and 5:30pm on all three days (Friday, April 24- Sunday, April 26).  We hope get 3 people in the booth for each shift. If you can volunteer for any of these times (and feel free to sign up for more than one shift!), you'll enjoy your time there.  
During the slow times, you'll be able to check out the rest of the Expo!  If you are planning on coming out to the Expo anyway, why not spend some time in the EWGA booth!!
