Seeking Two 9-hole
Coordinators New Chapter
Program for Monarch Bay
We are
looking for two members who would be willing to share the
coordination of a new chapter program for "9-holers" at the
Marina course at Monarch Bay in San Leandro.
We hope to do this on the 3rd Sunday of every month, with a
30-minute clinic by John Bearden, golf pro,
followed by 9-hole play - all for a cost of $22!
Before this great opportunity can become a reality, we need 2
volunteers to:
- track web signups from members
- communicate with John as to the numbers participating each
month
- participate in the clinics and play
- encourage chapter participants
- and enjoy being a part of EWGA!
