scramble event that includes free range balls, games
and prizes, goody bags and concludes with a delicious
hot lunch after the event. This event benefits our
charities: Wardrobe for Opportunity and LPGA-USGA Girls Golf.
We will also sell tickets at the event for mulligans,
split-the-pot and raffle bags. There will also be an
auction for special items. (If you'd like to volunteer to
help sell tickets or assist in other areas, please contact
Ginny Taylor at events@ewganeb.org .
Shotgun start is at 9:30am. Please check in
at the course no later than 9:00am. The weather is

Feedback from
the Tilden Clinic held May
18th
From Lora Lee Del
Rosario -
"Trish Hinze taught us a few new putting and
chipping drills (i.e. putting with your eyes closed), that we'll
definately use in practice. And after learning how to get out
of greenside bunkers, we are not afraid of sand! Trish is an
excellent teacher and we'll definitely come back to see her.
It was fun!"
From Patricia Ramirez -
"The Tilden Clinic was a perfect refresher course for me.
It brought back the basics. I'd do it again."
From Mary Ann Pate -
"The class at Tilden was great. Trish
Hinze has a unique ability to watch you swing the club,
diagnose the problems you are having, and help you firgure out what
to do differently. Let's do more sessions with
her!" |
