EWGA Basket Open Results
The winners
Thank you to all members who attended the Basket Open fundraiser at Oak Glen Golf Course.  EWGA members raised over $700 to provide household essentials to veterans with dependent children. Our event supported the efforts of Salute to Servicewomen Golf Classic to help provide a basket of supplies (towels, cleaning products, etc.) to families who will be moving into transitional housing that is provided by MACV (Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans, 501c3 organization). 
The teams played in a "shamble" format and there also was a contest to "chip in the baskets" with the prize a foursome of golf courtesy of Oak Glen. The winning team was 23 under par (Tammy Smith-Foyt, Terry Hennes, Pat Hegenbarth, and Joanne Cady).
Sunday Golf
The Sunday golf events are open to all members.  The sign up is done through
our website.  The next one will be July 23 at Ridges of Sand Creek in Jordan.
Sign up and details will soon be available so save the date on your calendar.
Golf Courses are Not Just for Golf Anymore
An interesting article appeared in the Star Tribune this week regarding the state of golf and featuring golf pro Michael Turnbull of Brookview GC.  Michael has been a big supporter of our Chapter for a long time and we think you'll find this article very interesting.   Link to article
Solheim Cup
The Solheim Cup, like the Ryder Cup, is held every 2 years and this year's event is on August 18-20 in West Des Moines, Iowa.  If you've never been to one, this is the year to go!   Several MnMetro members already have tickets and are ready to proudly wear our red, white and blue to cheer on the US ladies.  You can secure tickets here.  Hope to see YOU there.
Sponsor Spotlight of the Month
We are fortunate to have several preferred golf courses and sponsors.  Please patronize them when ever possible, be sure to let them you're an EWGA member and thank them for support of our Chapter.
