It was an exciting week for Rochester’s EWGA chapter!

Member Lisa Hoynowski got a hole in one on Wednesday (May 19) while playing our Victor Hills League.

Lisa’s ace came on the East Course #9 (formerly #17), which plays 95 yards from the red tees.

Because this was an EWGA-sanctioned event, the hole in one qualifies Lisa for the EWGA Troon Hole-in-One Club and a complimentary round for four at a Troon golf facility.

Congratulations, Lisa!

Looking for a fantastic golf getaway and competitive challenge this summer?

Then how about this: the EWGA is launching a new competition, the Match Play Champion’s Cup — and our chapter is participating.

What is the EWGA Match Play Champions Cup?

The Match Play Champions Cup is an inaugural regional competitive event that will be used as a pilot program to roll out on a national level in 2011.

When: July 31 and August 1, 2010
Where: Crystal Springs Golf Resort, Hamburg, NJ
Details: 2 nights accommodations, 3 rounds of golf (36 holes Saturday, 18 holes Sunday), Saturday night dinner, and Sunday awards barbeque.
Cost: Approximately $535 based on double occupancy, $405 based on four to a room

The EWGA envisions this competition as the organization’s second official major national competition, complementing the EWGA National Championship.

Th Match Play Champions Cup will be a weekend event with 36 holes being played the first day, and 18 holes the second day. The format will consist of Team Match Play competitions held over 3 rounds. Winning Teams will advance through the brackets toward the Match Play Championship Finals.  Teams losing in a particular round play in consolation matches, so every team that attends will play all 3 rounds over course of the event.

In this inaugural year, there will be 8 teams with 16 players each. Many of these Teams may consist of several chapters. Chapters may be allocated between 5 and 16 spots on a given Team. Once EWGA national receives all entry forms, it will set the teams.
