JENNIFER'S GOLF TALK

Welcome to the Atlanta Chapter of EWGA! 
Established in 1994 as one of the first chapters, our members
live, work, and play golf in and around Atlanta.  

EWGA is an international organization with nearly 20,000 members
in over 120 chapters in the United States, Canada, and Europe.  
EWGA hosts the largest amateur women's golf championship in the world.

A new year is upon us, which for many means putting pen to paper to memorialize resolutions for the year ahead.  I’ve done it,
you’ve done it, we’ve all done it.  We vow to lose some things – weight, debt – and vow to gain others – better job, new car – with
the hope that the scales rebalance by the time the ball drops again. 

But the question is, have you ever put together a list of golf resolutions?  It may sound hokey, but according to the experts, identifying specific goals for the upcoming year may help improve your game.  The idea is that your practice and playing time will be more meaningful if you are focused on a couple of key goals instead of just banging balls at the range or heading straight to the tee box
without a plan.  So to get the golf ball rolling, I am sharing my list of golf resolutions for 2012:

      •      Determine the actual distance for each club in my bag
    •      Aim to use only one ball per round (very likely impossible)
    •      Always practice putting before each round
    •      Play golf with lots of new people!
  • I'm sure I will be reminded during the season whenever I violate a resolution, but I promise to try my best to fulfill my goals this golf year and I challenge you to come up with your own list of golf resolutions for 2012.  

  • Happy New Year!

President

Member Spotlight 

Throughout 2012, we will spotlight a member so that we can learn more about her interests in golf, her interests and
her professional life.  This week's spotlight started playing golf at 9 years old!    




CHAPTER RESULTS AND RECOGNITION 

In December, we learned that our past president, Pam Banister, has been recognized as one of the ten EWGA Women Who Lead award winners for 2011. Pam's accomplishments will be recognized at EWGA's annual Golfpalooza weekend in Las Vegas this spring. 


The 2011 board nominated Pam in her third year on the board because she exemplifies the mission the EWGA - Connecting Women to Learn, Play, and Enjoy Golf for Business and for Fun.  In the preparation of our nomination, many members added their support.  Included in the nomination were significant metrics of the changes in the Atlanta Chapter since 2009:  

69% increase in attendance at the kick-off party

15% increase in golfers at monthly events
Competitors in the EWGA Championship Qualifier grew 26% to 44

EWGAtlanta members competing in the EWGA finals tripled

Sponsorships doubled to 31

37% increase in member participation in all events

Pam built a collaborative and skilled leadership team and set ambitious goals that have made EWGAtlanta a flourishing chapter.  There is no one more qualified for the Women Who Lead Award.  Please join us in congratulating Pam Banister and thanking her for her three incredible years of leadership!
