Chapter Championship 2007
Chair Person
Needed The 2007
Chapter Championship will be held on June 30 on the Blue Rock
Springs - west course in Vallejo. Our Chapter Championship is
the first step of the EWGA 2007 Championship which is the largest
amateur golf event in the U.S. for women.
We are looking for someone to step up and volunteer to chair
this event for this year. Requirements for this
person:
- passion for golf
- wants the Northeast Bay Chapter to put their best foot forward
- great organizational skills
- wants to learn more about the rules of golf
- wants to have the experience of running a tournament
- willing not to play in this year's Chapter
Championship
We would also like to find a co-chair who would be willing to
volunteer for this year and then chair the championship for next
year.
And we would also like to have 3 additional volunteers for the
committee.
Everyone - except for the chair person - can play the
championship. This is great experience for charity and
business events in your future. And a great way to help the
chapter.

underway! | |

Putting
What's the
rule?
While playing in a stroke play
league, a player putts her ball into the hole and does not retrieve
it. The next player putts her ball, which goes into the hole,
hitting the first player's ball. Is either of them penalized?
Rule 19 was used. The first players ball
is no longer in play once she has holed out so there is no
penalty. However, if you're the second player, waiting for the
ball to be removed may be a good idea. If your ball hits the
first player's ball and bounces out, your ball is still in play and
you must continue to putt and count those additional strokes to get
the ball back in the hole!
