Learn all About EWGA Seattle at May 28 Member Orientation

The EWGA Seattle Chapter would like to invite all members–new or existing--as well as non-members wondering what EWGA is, to one of our two Member Orientations being held from 5:30-7 pm on Tuesday, May 28. We are holding this event on both the Eastside (Willows Run's Firecreek Grill, Redmond) and Westside (Interbay Golf Center, Seattle) so you can choose the location that works for you.

This is an opportunity to meet and network with other members, learn more about EWGA member benefits and see how to become more involved. Since this is our week off between Session 1 and Session 2, join us for some social time and find out just why joining EWGA was such a good decision!

Light food and non alcoholic beverages provided. RSVP is appreciated but not required!

Please contact Marcia Bartlett or Sallie Davis to RSVP which location you'll be attending, or to ask any questions.

Short Game Clinic June 22 at Interbay

70% of your score is from 50 yards and in. Come out and learn good short game techniques and better course management.

Date: Saturday, June 22, 11 am to 1 pm

Place:Interbay Golf Center

Cost: $40.00 per person

INSTRUCTORS: Camille Surdi, LPGA and Lyndsey Devenish, PGA

Camille believes in developing the correct basic fundamentals to build a repeatable swing for each individual, therefore the golfer can relax, trust the swing, play effectively and enjoy the experience. She also teaches the strategy and psychology of playing golf so you can play "smart" golf.

Lyndsey instructs all levels of golfers from beginners to advanced. She enjoys teaching private lessons but has also found that small group clinics can be more fun for people just getting into the game. With her international and collegiate playing experience Lyndsey feels as though she can help anyone take their game to the next level. She feels it is important for her to give back for all the opportunities she has received by passing it onto future young golfers.

Maximum of 12 Golfers

(6 students to 1 instructor)

Make Plans Now for June 14-15 Road Trip!

Join other Seattle members the weekend of June 14 as we hit the road eastward! Our final destination is the Wild Horse Resort and Golf Course in Pendleton, Oregon, where we'll join members of the Portland, Central Oregon, Spokane and Boise chapters for a Saturday fun play (or optional match play) event.

Along the way on Friday we'll stop for a 12:30 pm round of golf at Richland's Columbia Point Golf Course. Friday golf cost is $36; register here.

After golf there, we continue on to Wild Horse Resort in Pendleton, Oregon. Reservations at the resort are on your own. We do have some rooms blocked out for EWGA on Friday and Saturday nights. They have given us two choices for discounted rooms, one at the original Courtyard Hotel $87.20 for a double queen room, or newly constructed Towers for $108.95 for a double queen, slightly larger room, these prices include tax. Both of these options are located on site at the Resort. The deadline for block room rates: May 24, 2013. For more information about the hotel rooms, please visit: www.wildhorseresort.com.

Guests staying at the Resort Hotel will receive a $50 casino fun pack given out at the hotel check-in. Sign up early as there are only 60 spots for 5 chapters. Saturday's golf event tees off at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. Wild Horse is a links style golf course that is very open with a few challenging hazards and a spectacular view of the Blue Mountains.

Deadline for golf registration is May 31, but event is filling up, so don't delay! There will also be optional golf available at additional cost on Sunday, June 16; look for those details when you register for the 15th.

After EWGA Seattle President Yvonne Gitchel's opening remarks, each pro in attendance had a chance to talk about her teaching philosophy and facility.
