MEMBER NEWS


A hole-in-one for Jennifer Wood

Wood uses iron for Colwood ace

New member Jennifer Wood is lighting up EWGA-PDX with her special play and enthusiasm. A golfer for only 15 months, Jennifer recently had her first hole-in-one at Colwood Golf Center. We wouldn't bet it will be her last. Read about it here.

Karma: New member wins recruiting prize

Bonnie Stutzman's name was drawn in the Friends & New Members Contest from among 22 entrants who invited a guest to an EWGA event this year or got a new member to join. Not only is Bonnie new to EWGA this year, but she recruited two of her friends to join, as well. We'd say she's liking EWGA and will like it even more playing her 18-hole prize round with 3 friends at Pumpkin Ridge's Ghost Creek course.
