Chapter Championship
Saturday, June 30th at
Blue Rock Springs - East, Vallejo
 
We have 28 members registered for this event!  There will be competition in 4 flights as well as 2 scramble teams!

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 (lowest score before deducting course handicap) and Low Net (lowest score after deducting your course handicap).  Remember to count all strokes and penalties and hole-out (you can't stop counting/playing at your posting maximum). 
 
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.
 
Rules clinic starts at 9:00am.
 
Additional information is on our chapter website on the Events Calendar and News pages.
