The Power of Title IX

 

"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
--Title IX of the Education Amendment, 1972 

 

It is amazing to think that on June 23rd, Title IX celebrated its 40th anniversary!   This writer was all of the age of 5 when Title IX passed.  At the time, I had no idea how much of a impact playing sports would have in my own life, resulting in many "life learning" experiences.  Having a 14 year old daughter, I have watch her "up her game" from the confidence and friendships she built through playing sports which she has carrys forth into her everyday life.    As women, I can't imagine what it would be like without Title IX.  If you haven't already done so, take a moment to reflect on how Title IX has impacted you.  :-)
 
Happy Anniversary Title IX

League News:

 

Our league season is in full swing now as we approach the end of our 8th week of play.  The weather has turned on the summer heat and we hope you are enjoying your rounds of golf.

 

A few quick reminders to all:

 

  • If you cannot play in your league due to other commitments or vacation, be sure to ask for an alternate for your league.  It keeps our tee times full which are what our host golf courses love to see!
  • Report any birdies made during league or event play to Arlene Franklin at president@ewgaboston.com
  • Please be sure to enter your weekly golf scores in the GN21 handicap system.  The handicap system is one of your membership benefits

  • There are several events during our season which require you to have a handicap.  It is also recommended to establish handicap to chart your progress in golf.  If you have any questions regarding handicaps or GN21, please email Jill Tyzack at golfhandicap@ewgaboston.org
  • Please check our website for upcoming golf events as there are more fabulous courses to play.  If you cannot play in an upcoming event, but would like to volunteer as an event helper, your efforts will be greatly appreciated.  Please contact Lyndsay Oglesby golfevents@ewgaboston.com
  • Save the Date: September 9, 2012 "League Championship" at Blissful Meadows.  Details to follow!

Enjoy and hit'em long and straight!!  Sue Weber, Maria Levin and Amy Soisson

New England Cup

 

 

It was a blistering hot day on the front nine with a slight wind on the back nine when the two Boston team went head to head with with five other teams from New England area.  After the final scores were tallied, Boston Team B came in second, just a half a point from first place!  Team A was not far behind, they were only a half point out of third.  It was a day when every stroke and putt counted.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and the Springfield Chapter has volunteered to host the event in 2013.
