Upcoming Events

March 23rd - Hands-On Training Session for the online EWGA Handicap Service - Maplewood Middle School - 6:30pm - 8:00pm
One of the benefits of your EWGA membership is the free, online Handicap service. We want to show you how to use this system to easily track your golf scores throughout the season. Whether you are an advanced golfer who wants to track Handicap for tournaments, or a new golfer who is just getting into the game - -having a Handicap can help you monitor your own progress throughout the year and throughout your lifetime. We encourage all of our members to get started with the Handicap system. This is a hands on demonstration, and all attendees will have a computer to work at. Items to bring with you: Score cards if you have any to post (if not, we will have a few sample cards to work with) EWGA member ID# and password (if you are unsure, we can help you that night.)

Bunco Party...Mardi Gras Style Wrap Up
EWGA members celebrated Fat Tuesday with boas, beads and Bunco at the Main Event in Little Chute. Very few in attendance had ever played the dice game before, but following a few simple instructions from the ever patient and amusing Master of Ceremonies, Diane Dushenski, the group was rolling dice and tallying their points. The coveted Bunko Crown, was proudly earned with each toss of a Bunko, only to be quickly snatched away by the next lucky roller. Soon, the ringing of the bell to announce the beginning and end of each round, was barely audible over the laughter and unending chatter. A humorous note about the bell, ours sounded just like the one the cook used to sound "Order up!" so we sure had that wait staff running! Members and guests grazed on hors deuvres throughout the night, followed by a Mardi Gras Cake. Door prizes were awarded between rounds, and prizes were given out again after the final scores were tallied. The night will long be captured in our memories, but more incriminatingly, in the group pictures taken at the end of play. Perhaps you can identify your fellow members hidden behind the masks.

Member FYI on Golf for Women Magazine Renewal Notices

You may receive a renewal notice for your Golf for Women (GFW) subscription if you are due to renew your EWGA membership this month. You can just ignore this notice from GFW. As always, the subscription is included with your EWGA membership, however the company that produces GFW wants to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to renew their subscription – in case some decide not to renew with EWGA. It’s a little confusing, but unavoidable – so we wanted to make you are aware of this.
