Our chapter is a diverse group of women, all with one common thread - golf. And within that thread, we include all types of golfers from beginners to single digit handicappers. That's a big task to meet all those needs, but I think we are doing exactly that. Check out the rest of this website and you will find programs and events for beginning golfers, events for competitive golfers, and then some purely social gatherings. You will find something that suits your game and where you want it to go. Guess what? Once you start participating, you will find an extra benefit with the Fort Worth chapter - friendship. Sometimes friendships are made when you least expect it. That happens all the time in this chapter. So don't delay anymore. Come on down and join in the fun of being a member of the Fort Worth EWGA. Mary Ann Lutz, President We need to remember the generosity of our sponsors whose sponsorship helps keep our Ft. Worth EWGA Chapter going. Our biggest sponsor this year is USMD Hospitals (Fort Worth and Arlington).

Congratulations to all who participated in the EWGA Semi-finals at Bridlewood on 7/24. The course was in great condition and it was nice to see our friends from other chapters in our section Ft. Worth has 3 members who will advance to the National Championship at Lake Geneva 10/1-2: Janet Case - 1st low gross in first flight. This was a hard-fought battle for Janet, as she had to participate in a sudden death playoff against Terry Kronung from Austin! Marilyn Weiss - 1st low net in second flight. Cheryl McCally - 1st low gross in fourth flight. While they are the only three who advance to Nationals, Ft. Worth made a very good showing with the following 2nd and 3rd place winners: Susan Van Riper - 2nd low net in first flight. She actually tied for 1st low net, but a scorecard playoff edged her out of first place. Mary Ann Beldeszek - 3rd low net in third flight. Scramble team consisting of Tara Dubose, Cindy Campbell, Ann Wright, and Marjorie Stanfield - 2nd place in scramble competition. Our next golf event will be Saturday, September 11, at Pecan Valley. Format will be stroke or scramble. Early signup deadline is Wednesday, 9/1, and final deadline to register is Monday, September 6.
SLOW PLAY! Unacceptable! We do not want to be categorized as "those slow women". No one likes to feel rushed, but as we play at private clubs and move on into Chapter Championship, we have to be mindful of our pace. If we have an opportunity to play at a private club, and their members are slowed down by us, you can bet we won't be invited back. In many competitions, penalty strokes are actually assessed after slow play warnings. Form good habits, and this won't be a factor. Click on the Education tab above for some tips on keeping a good pace.
