PWGA NOTES & QUOTES | Look, the games difficulty gets to all of us. Please understand we know what you are going through. The game is hard. You don’t have to explain yourself to your partner with an “I really don’t know what’s happening today” “or I’m usually not this bad”. Keep your head up and a smile on your face. Gloat a little when you hit a good shot and laugh off the bad. You’re outdoors so try to enjoy your day, just enjoy yourself at a tidy pace!! 3 I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the Major Tournaments this year. I work with a Committee of members who are very knowledgeable in the Rules of Golf and I value their assistance in officiating the major tournaments. Each year they continue their ongoing education by attending a Rules of Golf workshop either with USGA or NCGA. They volunteer their time on the course by assisting the players in the Rules of Golf should a situation arise. I would like to add members to my committee so if you enjoy the Rules of Golf, are actively involved as a Rules chairperson with your club or your area, please email me your information and I would be happy to discuss the duties of the committee with you.

Welcome to the 2015 PWGA golf season. It's time to dust off your clubs and come to one (or all!) of our play days. Your participation in last year’s play days allowed us to contribute $400.00 to the Junior Girls Golf Program. My goal is to reach $500.00 this season. I would like to encourage you to bring some members along that do not normally attend play days. Sometimes women can be intimidated by playing in tournaments but with our encouragement we might be able to get some "newbies" out on the course! I would also like to thank all of those that attended our workshop in February. Everybody looked awesome in their red attire! Due to your generosity (and some great raffle prizes) we were able to raise over $800.00 for the American Heart Association. Our guest speakers, Shelly McGill and Monty Merrill got us up and out of our seats to demonstrate the benefits of stretching before a round of golf, they were informative and provided attendees with lots of very useful material. My first year as the Stockton Area Director went by so fast. I hope I lived up to all your expectations and look forward to another great year. As always, I would not be able to do what I do without my right hand girl Nancy Haug. Here's to another great year and hope to see more of you on the golf course!
