Calling all women golfers.

I’m encouraging you all to think about joining the EWGA. This women’s golf association is one of the best things going for women since Mary Queen of Scots defied protocol and took up the sport herself in the 1500s.

EWGA is a national organization with chapters around the nation to include our local Inland Northwest Spokane chapter. Over the last few years our chapter’s membership has doubled in size because more and more women have found it to so wonderful to golf and mingle with other women from so many different backgrounds and careers, yet they all share either the same passion for playing golf or the same passion to learn more about the sport.

Diversified, there are women who play well and women who are just learning and many of us in between. We encourage learning without pressure of competition, but also offer competition to those women who want that to take their skills to that level. Even then, our competitions have various levels in which to compete and offer fair competition to everyone based on the handicap system.

There’s so mcuh good I can say about this association, so many benefits: Weekend golf, weekday after-work play, social events, learning clinics, fun, more fun and the opportunity to make more friends. Check out the local chapter’s website at www.ewgainlandnw.com. Soon our season schedule will be posted.

Our kick-off even is April 16th at Manito Country Club. The event is open to all members and women who are interested in joining. Contact me at susanmconard@comcast.net for more information. I’d love to hear from you.
