York Simcoe Chapter is excited to be heading into another year for EWGA Chapter Championship. Come out and join us on Sunday, July 26th at Cardinal RedCrest.
This will be primarily a competitive event. Again this year, we will provide spaces for ladies wishing to participate on the fun side. This is for members who may not be ready for the competitive aspect or who still want to golf simply for the fun of it. You can select either the competitive or fun stream during the registration process on the EWGA Canada site.
We will again be in need of volunteers for this event as there are a number of tasks that happen behind the scenes in order to make the event possible. For more information or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact Michele Walma, the Chapter Championship Director.
An official EWGA or GAO Handicap Factor is required to participate in the competitive format.
Please register below. In the Category drop-down menu, select York-Simcoe to see all the YS events. The Registration Deadline for Competitive Play is July 9th, 2015 at Noon.
