FLASH RESULTS

Annual Membership Kickoff - April 13, 2014 

“We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!” was the theme for this year’s membership kickoff luncheon. EWGA members and guests were treated to several wonderful presentations and a delicious lunch, followed by 18 holes of golf at the beautiful Rancho Bernardo Inn. We had a huge turnout, so the game of the day was a team scramble format that got everyone excited about golf! Each par-3 hole was a closest-to-the-pin contest.

The Membership Kickoff was a huge success. The San Diego Chapter warmly welcomes eleven new EWGA members who enrolled at the luncheon: Pamela Tompkins, Tammy Grinde, Diane Deuitch, Peggy Miller, Karen Derenthal, Jane Reding, Jackie Young, Reina Reeves, Angela Poon, Loree Burley, and Frances Donnelly. We also extend much gratitude to the current members who invited their guests and encouraged them to sign up. We hope to see you all at an upcoming EWGA San Diego event.

Many thanks to Nancy Homer, Membership Chair, for her hard work in organizing this amazing happening. It also couldn’t have been done without the help of the kickoff committee volunteers: Lynne Cardarelli, Diane Braune, Lois Spence, Pat Haberman, Mindy Hartstein, Terri O'Neil, Marylou O'keefe, Pam Pongratz, Cathy Jorgensen, Kerry Rauch, Lauren Mahan, and Chris Shorkey. Your efforts are much appreciated! The day also wouldn't have been a success without the support of our great sponsors.

BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING

“Helping others is the way to Higher Individual Well Being”1

There are many benefits to volunteering. Here are some thoughts to ponder …

1)  It is a chance to meet people outside your life patterns.  You can make new friends and contacts and increase your social and relationship skills.

2) Volunteering is enriching for your mind and body.  When you perform good deeds for others and the community, it provides a natural sense of accomplishment and boosts your self-confidence, self-esteem, and life satisfaction.

3)  An opportunity to can advance your career.  You can learn valuable job skills if you want to change or explore an area of interest.  If you want to learn accounting, be or help the Finance & Records Director.  If you want to learn marketing, be or help the Marketing & Sponsorship Director.  If you want to do Event Planning, be or help the Events & Activities Director. Check out some opportunities by seeing our list of Directors and their positions.

4)  It can be fun and fulfilling to your life.  Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passion.

Our San Diego Team at the CA Cup!

 

California Cup 2013

Twelve San Diego Chapter ladies traveled to compete in the 7th Annual California Cup tournament in Monterey October 25 – 27.  Team members were: Melissa Bright, Lynne Cardarelli, Susan Crawford, Wendy Eagle, Nancy Homer, Suzanne LaTour, Mary Lou O'Keefe, Connie Pasterkiewicz, Marie Shannon, Christine Shorkey, Dorothea Sledge, and Lois Spence.

 We played the beautiful Blackhorse and Bayonet Golf Courses in Seaside.  This annual competition among the 12 California Chapters follows the Solheim Cup format of 3 teams of FourBall and 3 teams of Alternate Shot on Saturday, and 12 individual matches on Sunday for each chapter.  The San Diego Chapter had one win (Connie Pasterkiewicz and Chris Shorkey) and one tie (Susan Crawford and Marie Shannon) in the team competition and six winners in the individual competition (Dorothea Sledge, Marie Shannon, Melissa Bright, Susan Crawford, Lynne Cardarelli, Wendy Eagle).   Congratulations Ladies!  Sonja Stevenson was the team captain and helped keep everyone informed and organized.  The weather was quite nippy and the greens played like an ice rink!  Saturday night, the team enjoyed a great dinner at the Fish Hopper in Cannery Row. 

 Thanks to everyone who participated!

PACE OF PLAY PLEDGE

EWGA San Diego Chapter members are busy women.  Thus, pace of play at our golf events is important.  We ask you to join us in speeding our pace of play by making these simple commitments to pace of play:

1.  We will play "ready golf" unless it is an official Tournament.
2.  We will pick up on a hole when we've reached our maximum strokes (equitable stroke control).
3.  We will move quickly to our ball. When our balls are relatively close, we will drop off our golf cart partner and then go to our ball
4.  We will be prepared (have a provisional ball handy; bring extra clubs when walking to the ball; limit practice swings).

If you have other suggestions to add to the pledge, please share them with education@ewga-sd.org.
