California Cup
October 17 & 18 at Bayonet Golf Course

2008 Chardonnay Yr End Event The California Cup, a competition of all California chapters of the EWGA, will be held this year on October 17 & 18.  Both rounds of the tournament will be played on the Bayonet Course and will be played from the Red Tees.  You can get hole-by-hole information from the web site: www.bayonetblackhorse.com.  

Each chapter puts together a team of up to 12 players.  We would like to know how many of you might be interested in being on the NEB team.  Please contact Barbara Competello by the first of September.

The competition consists of 2 days of golf. Day 1 is teams of 2 playing either alternate shot or best ball, and day 2 is individual match play.  All play is based on handicap, so depending on who you are playing against, you may get strokes on one or more holes.  GPS devices are allowed.  You do not have to sign up with a playing partner - Barbara should be able help you put a 2 person team together.

The $330 cost for the competition covers 2 days of golf, the Friday evening reception, the Saturday barbecue, and the Sunday awards luncheon.

You can also choose to play in the "Fun Golf Tournament", which will be held on the Blackhorse Course.  Non-members and men are welcome to play this event.  The women will play from the Red Tees and the men from the White tees as this will equalize the competition in the "Fun Tournament".  The players playing Blackhorse will have tee times both days starting shortly after 8:00 am.  The CA Cup event will be 8:00 am shotgun start both days.  The cost of Fun Play is $220 and covers golf, the Friday reception, Saturday BBQ, and Sunday awards luncheon.
