Spring,
2008
Thursday, May 1, 2008: Well, today is the first day of league play for 2008. As I pull up to Oyster Bay golf course, so much goes through my mind. This is the 9th season I have been a part of this league. As I think back to the first year when I didn’t really know anyone, and the uncertainty of what I was getting into. I remember not knowing where to pay, and not knowing anyone I was paired up with. Well, that was 9 years ago, and a lot of water under the bridge. I am a "regular" now, and as I pull up, I find myself stopping and talking to many people, not only the members, but the pros, the starters and even the cashiers. This has been a great experience for me.
With a membership nearing 1000 Long Island members, I cant help but to think that many people are feeling like I did nine years ago. If I could offer one piece of advice, that would be to get out there, and participate in as many activities as you can. If you are unsure of something, ask. This group is one of the nicest group of people that you will come across, I think I can safely say that most members have the same great things to say about EWGA, and they are thrilled to help out a "newbie" in the spirit of the "Pay it Forward"philosophy. If we can help other people get as much out of their membership as we have, we are glad to help.
Since this is officially the start of the golf season, check into the website often. There is so much going on. We offer clinics for all level golfers year round, there are rules and handicap seminars, etiquette seminars, mentoring outings, golf outings, women’s health night, nine and dines, and opportunities to marshal at the Commerce Bank Championship and the US Open in 2009. We have added leagues, and even a match play series for advanced golfers. Read your emails, I know sometimes it seems like a lot, but you don’t want to miss out on something.
Our chapter is run 100% with volunteers. We all do it because we love it, but don’t forget to say thank you. Just one little "thank you" can make a lot of difference. I know I mentioned it in the last letter, but please support the sponsors. Without them, we would have to charge more for member events, and when you support them, please remember to mention EWGA.
Have a great season, and hit‘m long and straight…or at least just hit‘m!!
