Vintner's 18-Hole Charity/Golf/Wine & Dine event
Saturday, May 31st, 9:30am

Wine It's time again for our popular Vintner Golf Event.  This event benefits our charities: Wardrobe for Opportuinty and LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. 
 
Vintner's Golf Course is located in the Napa Valley in Yountville off Highway 29.  (It's a 9-hole course but we go around twice from different tees.)  This is a fun 18-hole scramble event that includes free range balls, games and prizes, goody bags and concludes with a delicious hot lunch after the event. 
 
The cost of this event is $90 and the deadline to register is Friday, May 23rd.  We will also sell tickets for mulligans, split-the-pot and raffle bags.  There will also be an auction for special items.  Shotgun start at 9:30am.  Please check in no later than 9:00am.

9-Hole Las Positas Results
Last Saturday

 The 9-hole group played on Saturday, May 10th at Las Positas in Livermore.  We got a late start because of a hugh traffic jam on 580 but eventually all 11 players showed up.  We finished in enough time to enjoy the great food at Beeb's restaurant.
  Laurie Kehl and Rachel Norwitt each got a birdie (Laurie on the #3 hole and Rachel on hole #6).

13th Annual LPGA Longs Drugs Challenge - at Blackhawk

Spouses, significant others and experienced golfers are welcome to volunteer as well.  (Marshals are in charge of gallery control along the fairway, around the tee box and green.  It's very easy duty and you get to see the pros up close and personal!  You may also be on TV!)
 
Alice Miller EWGA Northeast Bay Chapter President will be coordinating the work shifts so please email her at president@ewganeb.org if you have any questions.  Also, be sure to email Alice once you've registered online so she can include you in the EWGA group.

Last year's champion, Suzann Pettersen defeated Lorena Ochoa on the 2nd hole of a sudden death playoff.
