Hole-In-One!!! 

  

Clare Payne made a Hole-In-One with a seven-wood on the 142-yard 14th hole at Mather on Thursday, May 1!  

  

 

 

  

 

Match Play League ... Round 2!
The second round of the Match Play League was played at Bartley Cavanaugh on Sunday, April 27.  

The winning team was
Pam Katros and Shelley Van Drimmelen with 32 points followed by Linda Reid and Diane Emond with 31.  Those two teams will be competing together at the next round at Haggin Oaks on Saturday, May 10th.  
 
Diane Emond also won the closest to the pin prize for her shot of 3' 2" (yes, she made the putt) on the #17 island hole.
Teal Bend Recap 

 

After all the rain we received on Friday, it was a good thing our event was at Teal Bend on Saturday as it is one of the best draining courses in the area.  The course was in excellent shape.  We actually only had 11 ladies participating, but we all still had a great time. 

 

We played a new game called Jinx Day.  You were able to throw out three of your worst holes and replace them with pars.  Then you took your handicap off of that.  The winner was Karen Biscaha followed closely by Fran Brolan.  We all thought it would be nice if we always could throw out a few bad holes.  They both were awarded with a sleeve of balls. 
Haggin Oaks Expo 

We had a very successful 3 days at the Haggin Oaks Golf Expo.  We talked to LOTS of people, and a lot of women were very interested in EWGA ... not just the free stuff we were giving away!!

 

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped run our booth: 

Fern Lukka, Theresa Stamey, Deana Fransden, Martha Messineo, Pam Katros, Tyra Jarvis, Barbara Ford-Ripley, Carol Adams, Barb Richards,  Tammy Pinnick, Sunny Mills, Jeaninne Jenna-Budowich, Joyce Doiron, Del Sayles-Owen, Sonya Bradley, and Linda Fitzgerald  (my apologies if I missed anyone!)

All the details and registration are HERE.
Fast Trackers - still time to join the fun!

We have extended the registration deadline to May 31, 2014.  Also, for the rest of the season, all sessions will be supervised practice at the Haggin Oaks Academy Holes  -- the first and third Mondays in May, June, and July starting at 5:15 p.m. 

 

 

Last Monday, the ladies spent a full evening of supervised practice in a beautiful setting, learning new things and having fun.  There was plenty of time for chipping and putting, and of course, etiquette.  As always, the evening was topped off by sharing time in the Haggin Oaks Mackenzie Grill over food and drinks - Cheers!  Many thanks to our leader Clare Payne and our guest mentors Martha Messineo and Mary Ribacchi!
