Next 18 hole Event
Mare Island, September 19
 The next 18 hole event will be at Mare Island in Vallejo. Cost is $55. We will be playing the 5 club + putter challenge - bring only the 5 clubs, plus your putter, that you think you will need to play the course. This is a great chance to test your skills - and your ability to pick the right clubs ahead of time. More important, it's also a lot of fun!
Deadline to register is September 8.

It's Not Too Late to Sign Up for LPGA!
Volunteer for 2009 LPGA at Blackhawk
We are still seeking volunteers to help Marshal hole #9 - the official EWGA Northeast Bay Hole. The folks at CVC will be putting our name on a sign to designate that the volunteers working on #9 represent EWGA Northeast Bay. That's pretty cool!
As a marshal you get to work inside the ropes and assist the players by spotting balls and crowd control as the players move through the hole. Plus you get a chance to witness some pretty amazing golf shots AND maybe even pick up a tip or two from the pros.
Remember this volunteer opportunity is not limited to EWGA members. Maybe your spouse or friend is interested in volunteering - they are welcome to join our team.
As a volunteer you'll receive:
- "Volunteer Only" Uniform
- Complimentary meal on assigned work days
- Complimentary parking pass
- Four (4) "Any Day" tickets for your guest(s) ($80 Value)
- 25$ CVS/pharmacy Gift Card
For more information or to Sign up click here now: http://www.cvslpga.com/volunteer.htm
*PLEASE NOTE: If you have any questions, please call Alice Miller on her cell: 925-382-4576. When you sign up we want to make sure you are assigned to hole #9/EWGA, so please email alice@sunnyneon.com to let her know you have signed up on behalf of EWGA.

California Cup
October 17 & 18 at Bayonet Golf Course
WE STILL NEED TEAM MEMBERS!!! Come and join us for the California Cup.
This 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 as soon as possible. We realize this is a tough year, and it is a costly event, but we desperately need a few more players! Some of us will be looking for roommates, so you should be able to save on hotel costs. The $330 cost for the competition covers 2 days of golf, the Friday evening reception, the Saturday barbecue, and the Sunday awards luncheon.
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.
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.

ARE YOU READY TO VOLUNTEER?
 Although 2009 is winding down, some of our committees are starting to gear up for 2010. Our chapter is managed 100% by member volunteers who have an interest to provide opportunities for women to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf.
Volunteering can be very rewarding. It can give you a direct voice in how your chapter is managed or it can give you a chance to give back to your chapter. New ideas are always welcome. Become an active member in the success of your chapter.
The Events Committee will soon be selecting courses to play for 2010. Contacts, pricing and arrangements will need to be made well before the season begins. Members also assist with games, prizes, etc. New members are needed.
The Social Committee will arrange and prepare for the Kick Off Breakfast/Brunch months before the March date. This committee also is involved in the Year End and other social meetings throughout the year.
Other committees include Communications, Education, Handicap, Leadership,
Membership, Nine-Hole Events, and Sponsorship.
All of these committees are looking for new members for the new year and can use your help. If you would like to join a committee for the new year or would like to know more about any of the chapter committees, please contact Leadership Chair, Ginny Taylor by September 13.
