So what do you get when you join, exactly?

We’ve been getting emails from Rochester women who want to know more about the EWGA. What will you get when you join?

You get golf!

The purpose of our association is summed up by the EWGA tagline: Connect, Learn, Play, Belong.

Our EWGA chapter gives Rochester women golfers opportunities to learn the game of golf, play the game of golf, and meet other women who also love to play. It’s also a great way to network–the majority of our members are area professionals.

In addition to the soft benefits, women who join our chapter are eligible for a number of discounts.

Discounts on women’s golf services, products, education, rounds

We did the math, and it was an eye-opener.

By joining EWGA, you receive up to $270 in savings on golf-related products and services this year, right here in Rochester.

Seven EWGA Chapter Clinics @ $5 off per clinic: you save $35
Two EWGA Chapter Instructional Series @ $25 off per clinic: you save $50
USGA Handicap Index through the EWGA Golf Life Management System (GLMS), free with your membership: $30 value
Joining a league? Save $25
Golf fitness class discount: save $20
Need golf shoes? A-GAME Sports discount on women’s golf shoes: up to $50
GolfTEC lesson package: 20% off: $60 (double the national GolfTEC discount)

And that’s just here in town. There are other discounts negotiated by EWGA national (check their site often as this list grows all the time). Examples: 25% off Tail Activewear women’s golf clothing; 10% off Sporty Chic golf clothing; 10% off Liberty Mutual auto or home insurance; 10% discount on selected Golfsmith products; 15% discount at 1800 flowers.

[Members: to see these discounts, you need to go to the EWGA national site and log onto the Members Clubhouse (formerly calls Members Only). Do check it out if you haven't, recently -- they've added quite a few additional discounts.]

Given today’s uncertain economy, it’s nice to know that joining EWGA is an investment in your game.

EWGA Championship

Another benefit of joining is that you can participate in the EWGA Championship Tournament: the largest women’s amateur tournament in the world.

The EWGA Championship, which includes stroke and scramble team format play, is open only to EWGA members. It’s a flighted tournament — which means women of any skill level can play.

That makes it a great way to experience competitive golf!

Any member of our chapter can play in the first round, our Chapter Championship, July 17 at Mill Creek. Two women from each of the four stroke play flights, and one scramble team, can advance to the regionals on August 21 in Springfield, Mass.

Connecting with other women golfers: Priceless!

Joining the EWGA also enables you to connect with other women golfers. Through our Fairway Friends mentoring program, leagues, golf events, networking events, and the EWGA Championship, you have the opportunity to form business connections and lasting friendships, all through the great game of golf!

Then be sure to join us this Thursday, February 4 from 6:00-8:00 pm at the The Distillery in Henrietta, 3010 Winton Road South!

Rochester’s own A-Game Global Sports has donated a pair of ladies’ golf shoes (retail value $75-$125) for us to give away this networking event.

If you attended our last networking event, you know how great it was to get together with “the girls” and talk golf!

And if you didn’t attend, here’s a chance to find out what you missed

Once again, please bring a friend or two! The event is open to all Rochester area women golfers — including EWGA members and non-members. And we’ll be giving away other door prizes as well.

See you there!

Hey Rochester women golfers, want to network?

admin — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:36:24 +0000

Mark your calendars! We’re hosting a networking event for Rochester women golfers at the Tap & Mallet on January 13, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

The event is open to both EWGA members and non-members and we’ll be giving out door prizes

The Tap & Mallet, for the uninitiated, is Rochester’s premiere destination for craft beers. It’s located in the South Wedge at 381 Gregory St.

So please stop by! This will be a great chance to meet other Rochester-area women golfers — or catch up with old friends — while enjoying a delectable glass of beer.

See you there!
