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.
 
Questions should be directed to Cindy Maxim at handicaps@ewganeb.org

Congratulations!

Congratulations to our chapter's team of Pat Block, Trish Powell, Patricia Ramirez and Ginny Taylor who entered the NCGA Associate Club Championship and beat a number of other club teams at Franklin GC, one of the local qualifying sites earlier this month. 
 
Everyone on our team contributed to the best two balls of four format with Pat Block shooting her best round of the year.  We wish our team the best of luck when they compete at the Sectional Qualifying round at Poppy Ridge GC on July 23rd or July 24th.  Go team!
