Deadline Extended to March 16

Poppy Ridge

The EWGA NEB Kickoff for 2010 will be at Poppy Ridge Golf Course on Saturday, March 27, 2010.  Bring a friend, and you will be entered into a special drawing! Join us for a full breakfast buffet, scramble golf, and more. This year we will start from two tee boxes, which means we will finish in 1/2 the time! Sign up now at the EWGA NEB website. Don't forget to sign in first so you aren't listed as a guest!.
 
NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY:
Members who own their own businesses are invited to submit information to be advertised at the Kickoff. Please email a fairly brief blurb including contact information. We will put together a flyer for distribution at the Kickoff. Feel free to bring business cards to the Kickoff as well.
EWGA National Website 
 
Link Changed on March 1

There has been a change to the link to the EWGA national site. The new Members Only link routes users to the Member Login page. This will enable members to access EWGA member exclusive features using a single sign-on:            
 
    - The new Members Only site
    - Handicap Service
    - W2WLink
 
Each of these services are currently being updated and will require Member authentication via the link given above. This will save the "double" sign-in that is required currently. 
Sharpen Your Mental Game
March 13th Class: The value of a pre-shot routine

Learn how to stay in state, tee to green, by designing your own pre-shot routine that will enhance your consistency. Experience how your pre-shot routine helps you focus on the right club selection for the shot at hand. Leave with "target thoughts" that will help you play to perform more effectively every round.
 
Instructions by Ida Centoni, a USGTF Certified Teaching Pro & Mental Conditioning Coach for the game of golf....assisted by an LPGA/PGA Teaching Professional.

White Elephant Raffle
Donations Needed
 

2008 Chardonnay Yr End EventAs part of our fundraising efforts, we will have a raffle at the Kickoff event at Poppy Ridge on March 27th. In addition to some wonderful prizes, we would like to encourage our members to donate those white elephant items you may have at home that are in excellent condition. If you have something to donate, please contact Joanne Segovia at jcsegovia@comcast.net to arrange pickup or delivery of your items.

Hook Up for Golf Games
with Google Calendar
 
CalendarIn order to help members hook up for golf games, we will be starting a Google Calendar this week. The way it works is that you logon and add an event to the calendar stating interest in playing on that date and giving any restrictions (tee time, geographic area, etc.) along with your contact information. Then other members who are also looking for someone to play with on that date can contact you to arrange golf dates. The calendar will only be accessible to EWGA NEB members.
 
Once the Calendar has been created, you will be invited to join. So if you aren't interested, just don't respond. If you are interested, you may need to set up a Google "account". There is no cost - you'll just need to enter your email address (as logon) and a password.

Golf Events of Interest
 
NCGA Associate Club Events - Deadline 3/12

Golfer
The NCGA is about to begin its tournament season.  There are four Associate Club team events our chapter is eligible to participate in.  The number of slots we have in each event is based on the number of women who have enrolled in NCGA through the chapter - that number is listed at the end of each description.  The first two events are listed below.  
 
We'd love to get our chapter more involved in these NCGA events.  We hope you'll be interested in playing on behalf of the chapter - we know you'll have fun!  It would be helpful if you can commit to play, if necessary, through to the championship; but we want to know if you're interested even if you can't commit at this time.  
 
Please also note: for these two events, you play to a maximum handicap of 18.4.  
 
If you are interested, please email
Lora Lee Del Rosario no later than two weeks before the entry deadline. Be sure to give her the name of the event you want to play in and let her know if you can play all the way to the championship.
