Desert ConfabNearly 300 women from chapters in the U.S., Canada and France gathered at the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort and Spa in Palm Desert, CA for the 2009 EWGA Conference, February 18-21.
 
I was lucky enough to be among them, representing our Chapter along with Joni Proft, Wilma Kumler and Kay Pierson. (We're pictured here, left to right, along with LPGA legend and conference guest Patty Sheehan, who's in that crazy jacket in the middle.)  [

Play With a Mentor

If you're a new golfer, getting started with the help of a mentor can make a huge difference helping you get comfortable making the transition from practice tee to on-course play. Mentors are more experienced Chapter members ready and eager to share their love of the game with you.

 

The program is called S.W.I.N.G. Learn more; then add your name to the sign up list!

Our Great Golf Stories

 

Over the course of this golf season, each us should expect to experience at least one great golf story that will entertain, inspire or inform the rest of us. 

 

Our first Great Golf Story is from Bobbi Larken, Chapter Secretary. Don't miss Meet a Gator...Get a Member.

 

Send along your story and we'll share it in our next issue (and on the Web site)!
