Paradise Valley Results
Last Saturday  Our last chapter event was held at
Paradise Valley in Fairfield.
Nineteen members enjoyed great weather, free range balls,
"Demo Day", new friendships, games and prizes.
Our 4 "Closest to the Hole" Par 3 games resulted in 3 winners
including 2 new members!
Mila Heitz cleared the barranca on this 147
yard hole to land 10' 7" from the pin on #3 and won a
$30 gift card.
Diane Baca manuevered around
bunkers on hole #8 to land 11' 7.5" on this
130 yard hole. But she didn't stop there! On hole
#15 she cleared a pond to land 10' 3.5" from the pin on this 121
yard hole!
Her award was TWO $30 gift cards!
Cathy Pementell managed to get to 11'
10" from hole #8, the 89 yard hole and was awarded a
$30 gift card.
Congratulations to everyone!
Rita Vitaliano had this to say about the
event:
"It was so nice to see a lot of new members. I golfed
with 2 of them, Laura Scott and Joanne
Segovia, and Donna Soltis (who is not a
new member). It's hard to believe that almost 5 years ago I
knew everybody by name, that's because we only had 20 members.
Now we need name tags, because the chapter has grown so much.
"Each year the chapter excels in all aspects, and it's because
of the volunteers. We have a great web site for information
about the chapter. Great events! Great friends! And remember
we all have something in common - The Game of Golf.
"Come out and play this summer and meet other members.
You never know, you may very will have something in common with
someone you don't even know yet!!
Have a great summer!
Warmest regards" - Rita

Chapter
Championship Saturday, June 30th at
Blue Rock Springs - East, 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.
