 Join us for May Merriment
Finally...the golf season is upon us! We have a variety of weekend events scheduled that we hope you will enjoy. In the month of May, we start off the season at Merrimack Valley in Methuen on the 8th. Then, we'll "par-tee" the following weekend at Franklin Park with our Mentoring event and at Pine Oaks, where we'll "Gear Up for Golf".
To round out the month, we'll celebrate all of our new Chapter members on the 22nd at Tewksbury CC and warm up for the Chapter Championship at Shaker Hills on the 23rd.
Come out and join us as we golf, laugh, and create memories of the 2010 season! For complete information, visit our Events web page.

Fairway Friends
Fairway Friends is a mentoring program available to all EWGA members. Experienced golfers are partnered with new golfers to help them feel comfortable on the golf course.
A mentor guides a new golfer on pace of play, basic rules, and proper etiquette on and off the golf course.
A mentee is someone making the transition from instruction to playing on a golf course.
If you are interested in being a mentor or mentee, please email our Education chair with your name, home and work location, member number, and phone number.
