2017 EWGA Cup Midwest Qualifier Results
The Midwest Regional Qualifier for EWGA's match play tournament, the EWGA Cup Series, was held in Horseshoe Bay, Texas on September 9-10.  Our MN Metro Chapter sent one team of eight players to compete against 12 other Midwest teams.  The first day of competition was 4-ball match play with the second day being singles match play.  While we didn't fare as well as we would have liked (10th  out of 13 teams), we all had a great time and enjoyed evenings rehashing our matches poolside while drinking our new favorite TX beer - Guns and Oil!                                
Team "Land of 10,000 Birdies"
Lori Windschitl, Kristi Peterson (The Peterschitls!), Janette Schull, Jodie Skolnick, Sherry Gabrielson, Karey Jensen, Angie Christo and Heather Wahl.
Sponsor Spotlight of the Month - EWGA 
Pat Haberman, an EWGA, San Diego Chapter member, was in town for a class reunion, and contacted us looking for a chance to play golf. So Pauline Whelan invited her to play at White Eagle with the White league.  She had a great time and reminded us that one of the great benefits to being an EWGA member are the connections we have around the country. So when you are traveling for work or pleasure and want to play some golf, be sure to check for an EWGA Chapter in that city or location.
