Chapter Championship
Saturday, June 30th at
Blue Rock Springs - East, Vallejo
 
The deadline to register is this Saturday - June 9th!  Don't delay!

Fairway 
Did you know that the EWGA-NEB Chapter Championship is part of the largest 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.
 
There will be 2 winners in each flight (Low Gross and Low Net)
 
Flights determined by handicap index for stroke play:
 
Championship: 0.0 - 13.0
1st Flight:     13.1 - 20.0
2nd Flight:    20.1 - 27.0
3rd Flight:     27.1 - 33.0
4th Flight:     33.1 and higher
 
The stroke play winners and 1st place Scramble Team will advance to the Semi-Final Championship at Hiddenbrooke on July 28th!
 
USGA Rules of Golf apply.
 
Requirements:
  • USGA handicap index (including those obtained thru EWGA Golf Life Management system or NCGA);
  • EWGA member (sorry, no guests);
  • Three 18-hole or six 9-hole rounds posted by May 31, 2007;
  • Payment of tournament fees by June 9th 
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 (includes $35 entry fee).  Compete individually (stroke play) or on a scramble team.
 
Additional information is on our chapter website on the Events Calendar and News pages.
 
Questions should be directed to Cindy Maxim at handicaps@ewganeb.org
 
 
Don't forget to complete an entry form and mail it to EWGANEB, 1630 North Main St #162, Walnut Creek, Ca. 94596 Attn: Cindy Maxim
 

Vintner's Golf/Wine/Dine & Charity Golf Event !

Was last Saturday!

 It was a great day at Vintner's Golf Course located in Yountville just north of Napa.Vintner's Winning Scramble Team 2007
At this golf event we played in a scramble format with fun games and a great lunch.
 
Pictured above is the winning scramble team with a score of 65:  L-R is Willis Pollard, Barbara Competello, Nancy Seibert and Marcella De La Cruz.  Congratulations!!
 
Our "most accurate drive" winner was Trish Powell who landed right on the line! and "closest to the hole" went to Pat Block who landed just over 16 feet from the 97 yard par 3 hole! 
 
We had LOTS of raffle prizes including free green fees at Franklin Canyon, wine, putter, golf shoes, EWGA shirts, golf bag sports cooler and a large gift basket.
 
More photos of this event will be displayed in our Photo Gallery on our website soon!
 
This event benefited our charities: Wardrobe for Opportunity and LPGA-USGA Girls Golf at Diablo Creek Golf Course.
