2016 Board




President

Sandy Wirtel
Dear Members, 
 
Hello there.  Scrooge here wondering how the holidays are supposed to be happy when it's too cold to golf?! Eh, I guess there's more to life.  And there are indoor and heated driving ranges, TopGolf and the possibility of travel to warmer climates, right?  I've also heard that our golf games improve with some time off.  
 
But, well. . .Humbug!  I miss golf and I miss you! I do hope your holidays are happy and that you provide the Board information necessary to plan a great 2017. Please respond to our local survey. Thanks.
 
Keep an eye out for a Happy Hour notice soon and maybe I'll see you at that heated range!
 
Sandy

"Best EWGA memory... That's a tough one, the entire experience of joining EWGA has been great. There's nothing better than golfing with these women.  I really enjoyed golfing with Colleen, Dodie and Sandy W. at Adam's Pointe this summer. It was crazy hot and they were still so much fun!! "
