Chapter
Championship Saturday, June 30th at
Blue Rock Springs - West, Vallejo
Did you know that the EWGA-NEB Chapter Championship is part of
the largestt amateur women's golf event in the world? It's
great for golfers of all skill levels - the competition is
"flighted", so each player only plays against others with similar
handicaps.
Member Naomi Iaccarino says: "The Chapter
Championship was the perfect venue to introduce competition to my
golf game." In Naomi's first year in the Championship, she
represented NEB at the Finals in Nashville!
Have you signed up for the Championship yet? Don't
forget - you must have posted 3 18-hole or 6 9-hole rounds by May
31, 2007.
Also, all registration forms must be received by
June 9, 2007.
Please note that this deadline is unlikely to be extended
due to time requirements at EWGA AQ for submitting required
documentation, payment, and handicap verification.
Cost is $105. Compete individually (stroke play) or on a
scramble team.
Additional information is on our chapter website on the Events
Calendar and News pages.
