CELEBRATING 18 YEARS OF SINGLES GOLF IN AMERICA Sacramento, CA Chapter - American Singles Golf Association August 2011 JULY TRIP TO MARE ISLAND It s tradition for Sacramento Singles to escape the summer heat in our valley by traveling all the way to Mare Island in Vallejo in July. This July was no exception... except that it wasn t all that hot in the Sacramento Valley. But tradition is strong and the benefits were a chance once again to play the old Naval Base, breathe bay air and enjoy the spectacular views. 24 Sacramento Singles signed up for the trip but Dwight, Golf Master, injured his back just before a big and long planned golfing vacation. So Dwight came down to Mare Island just to send the group off. Thanks Dwight. Hope your back is better. That left 23 of us to soldier (or sailor) on. Team 1, minus Dwight, consisted of Sue Bowser, Warren Peacor and Jo Briggs. They teed off right on time. Team 2 was Mike Newby, Patti Mc Reynolds, Ernie Finkbeiner and Von Canale. Team 3 was Mark Natividad, Lavon Hester, Mira Wooten and Lynn Manfree. Mira and Lynn joined our group for the Napa Wine Trip and we are happy to see them again. Welcome to our group. Team 4 consisted of Don Pavlich, Jan Valine, Mel O Neal and Janice Van Gutman. Team 5 was Marty Wiseman, Mel- ody Hayes, Paul Arquette and Carla Zuelhke. Carla s new to Sacramento Singles and she, too, is most welcome. Finally the Team of Karl Winkler, Shirlee Cisneros, John Wardlow and Sue Jeffery brought up the rear and all of the basic information regarding that most important of all subjects... winners and big money recipients. Big Money Team was Team 1, Warren, Sue and Jo with a team score of Team 1 - Sue. Warren & Jo 179. Closest to the Pin winners were Don Pavlich for the men and Janice Van Gutman for the women. Closest to the Pin hole was number 17. Longest Drive on Hole Number 18 was Marty Wiseman for men and Melody Hayes for women. Congratulations to the winners. After distributing all the winnings, the group adjourned to the Wharf Restaurant, across the bridge because, you guessed it, it s tradition.

CELEBRATING 18 YEARS OF SINGLES GOLF IN AMERICA AMERICAN SINGLES GOLF ASSOCIATION AUGUST 2011 Return to the Meadowview Resort Event Date: Thursday, Sept. 1-Sunday, Sept. 4 It s been several years since we held our Labor Day weekend event in Kingsport, TN. Kingsport is geographically located in a part of our country where many members can drive-in from all directions. As a consequence, we re looking for a good-sized crowd of over 100-125 people. With gas prices the cheapest they ve been in several months, it s time to get with a friend or two and load-up the van. The Marriott Meadowview works perfectly for our group. We ll play Graysburg Hills GC and Crockett s Ridge GC. The standard package price is $379 and includes three nights stay (you ll have a roommate), two rounds of golf, welcoming cocktail party, cookout at Graysburg Hills after the round, two full buffet (hot) breakfasts and a final night dinner at the Marriott. We ll also have a deejay for the first and final nights. If you want to play some additional golf, you can sign-up for day-of-arrival (11am, Sept. 1) golf at the Cattails course at the resort, or the same course for day-of-departure (9am, Sept. 4) for only $30. It s a great rate, however, we ve been told the greens will have been aerated about a week earlier. You re welcome to stay additional nights, so see the registration form for details. In addition, we ll have our 50/50 raffle on our final night and you can pre-pay for those on the registration form as well. Full details of the event are at SinglesGolf.com/LaborDay and if you d like to check out the hotel, go to SinglesGolf.com/ Meadowview. Meet More Singles at Multi-Chapter Events ASGA, through its member chapters, offer other events which allow you to meet singles from other chapters. All members are invited and encouraged to attend these Multi-Chapter Events. There s nothing like meeting up with a bunch of other singles for a weekend of golf. Each package is basically the same but there are differences, so we suggest you visit the website for the event. And, if you re chapter s interested in hosting one of these events, prepared to put a lot of work into it. But the reward of having singles play in your city and play your favorite courses is a life experience, well, hopefully! Contact ASGA to clear the date and then get your Board of Directors to give local approval. Then, start putting it together! The website for all events is really, really simple: www.singlesgolf.com/events Here are our multi-chapter events for the rest of the year: Jacksonville's World Golf Village Weekend - August 26-28, 2011.

Details at www.singlesgolf.com/ireland Elections for New Chapter Leaders Start Soon! It s been said that the greatest thing about being a chapter president is that some day, you get to be a past president. I can vouch for that myself having served as a chapter president years ago. Chapters should never become stagnant, that s why our bylaws require a change in leadership once each year. New minds, new ideas. We elect our chapter presidents for 2012 at the October meetings and the committee chairs in November. All new officers take their position effective January 1, leaving ample opportunity do make plans for the upcoming year. What s involved in being a chapter president? Check out the site SinglesGolf.com/leaders for some perspective on what each position entails, along with some great ideas. - - Tom Alsop, President / Founder, ASGA Phone 704-889-4600 or 1-888-GOLFMATE GolfASGA@aol.com P. S. It s painful turning 60 this month. My only good feeling about it is that a lot of you beat me to the punch!
