Lilani Wealth Management Social
Rashida Lilani hosted the 3rd Annual Lilani Wealth Management Social on Wednesday, March 19.  There was a great turnout and Rashida provided us with plenty of food and wine and chair massages (!!) to keep the laughter going.  She did made us work for it: we had a word jumble to solve (15 words to unscramble in 60 seconds ... I can't even write 15 words in 60 seconds!), and Tammy beat us all soundly by getting almost all of them!  She also had a raffle, but even those weren't easy to win ... Tammy, Del, Jeri and Judy all had to tell us a golf story before receiving their prizes!   

 

Thanks as always to Rashida for hosting this fun evening!!

Mather Play Day - Opening Day!

Our first 18-hole event of the season was March 15, 2014, at Mather Golf Club. We couldn't have asked for better weather!

 

We had 28 ladies participating in this play day. The game was fairways and putts - you received five points for hitting the fairways, and the number of putts was subtracted from the five points.  

  • The winner with 30 points was Clare Payne.
  • Karen Biscaha was a close second with 24.  

All in all a great way to start the season!!  

Heart Healthy Seminar + Yoga + Golf

The EWGA Sacramento Education Division hosted a group of women for a fun-packed day at Woodcreek Golf Course in Roseville on March 16.  PWGA was also invited to join us, so we had both members and non-members in attendance!

First on the agenda was Dr. Clarence Ing, who gave a talk on Heart Health.  He also provided (at a discounted cost) a Carotid Ultrasound test, which all of the participants took advantage of. 

Then, Marilyn Hebert, LPGA Professional, and Yoga for Golf instructor, taught a yoga for golfers class to get everyone loosened up for golf.

Then, 9-holes of golf at Woodcreek.  Marilyn was also available on the course for stretching and golf advice!  Here's what a couple of our members had to say about Sunday's experience:

 

"Whenever I play golf, I feel a pinch here, pinch and pull there while swinging my clubs.   After learning some basic yoga moves, stretches, etc, I was amazed at how well I felt playing afterwards.  My swing came so much easier and smoother.  No aches! No pains during or after.  I really felt great!" -- Jeaninne Budowich

 

"Some of us were so surprised that we were hitting the ball so well and that we felt so good at the end of the day.  I particularly noticed that I had no lower back pain.  I know that it was only nine holes but we did have more than an hour workout before.  I would love to take her yoga class before I played anywhere."  -- Fern Lukka

 

Oh, and lunch and after golf drinks!!  What a great day!!

 

 

 

 

If Yoga for Golfers sounds like a wonderful way to get "golf ready", join us Monday, March 31, 2014 at Granite Bay for a class, lunch and 9 holes of golf on one of the area's most beautiful courses.  Registration is still open!

 

Thanks to the Education Committee for planning this fun day:

Del Sayles-Owen, Mary Lou Azeveda, and Nancy Lyons

US Senior Open

 

The 2015 US Senior Open will be at the Del Paso Country Club, and

EWGA Sacramento will be marshaling on the 16th hole!  What a great opportunity to see the some of your favorites up-close-and-personal (personally, the closer I can get to Fred Couples, the happier I am!!).

Wednesday Evening League

It's almost time for the start of the Wednesday Evening Casual League, so mark your calendar!!

 

Starting April 9th at Arcade Creek (Haggin Oaks), 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.  We only have room for 16 players and this is a very popular event.  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!

 

Once you have contacted Judy, you will be added to the mailing list so that you get an email each week with the opportunity to sign up.  You can email Judy at golfnana48@gmail.com.  

 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Antelope Greens Play Day

Come play 18 holes at Antelope Greens on Saturday, March 29!

 

Tee times will be starting at 2:00pm, and it only costs $13 to walk, and $20 to ride ... how can you pass up a deal like that??  This is a Pay-At-The-Course event, but we do need everyone to sign up so that we make sure that we have enough tee-times and we can do the pairings. 

  

Registration closes on Sunday, March 23,

so sign up now!!! 

 
Yoga and Golf at Granite Bay

 

We still have spots for the Yoga for Golfers, Lunch and 9-Hole Causal Play at Granite Bay on Monday March 31.  Sign up now ... registration closes on Sunday, March 23!

Fast Trackers

You can still join Fast Trackers if you are interested - it's a great program for all women wanting to get "serious" about this game. We meet the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month in the early evenings from March through July.  For a complete program description and to register, see the Sacramento EWGA website.  

New Webmasters!!

Since I write the eblast, I get to put in anything I want!  So, I would like to take a moment to introduce my two new assistant webmasters:  

Tammy Pinnick
Chao Chen

Both Tammy and Chao have gotten up to speed remarkably quickly, and have graciously taken on some of the most boring tasks ... and I really appreciate all their help!!  With more of us to work on it, we hope to be more active on Facebook ... so for those of you who have "liked" us on FB, you should start seeing more postings! 

 

Next time you see either Tammy or Chao ... tell 'em thanks!
