Reminder: Record Match Play Scores
When playing match play, including matches played in the New England Cup, it is required that scores be entered in the handicap system even though the tournament was match play.
If a hole was conceded or not completed, you should enter the score (not to exceed ESC) that you would most likely have gotten for that hole. The score should be posted as a Tournament score.

Look around you. Do you know someone who's a great planner? Numbers person? Writer? Communicator? Please consider nominating them to work with us on crafting the direction of EWGA Boston next year. That's right, it's election time, and we are actively seeking chapter members to volunteer for leadership positions next year. Many of our board members will be moving on to other responsibilities next year, so we are currently recruiting for positions that include:
- President
- Vice President
- Treasurer
- Events Chair
- Communications Chair
- Sponsorship Chair
EWGA Boston is run completely by volunteers, and we need new team members next year. We simply can't offer the fabulous events, leagues, and membership experience we have been without your help. If you or a golf buddy are interested in helping us shape our events, leagues and membership experience next year, please write to leadership@ewgaboston.org and let us know. |

The clinic will split the time between the two topics and help you lower your scores. Class has been rescheduled to July 15 from 6:30-8:00 PM.
