DEADLINE LOOMS FOR FRESH MEADOW SIGNUP

Come Celebrate MGWA’s Season-Ending Gathering

To: MGWA Members

From: Chuck Stogel, MGWA Activities Committee

This is a reminder to anyone that has not yet signed up for our final meeting and golf outing of the 2018 season…we are looking for an enthusiastic turnout at Fresh Meadow Country Club on Long Island for our season-ender.

The date of the outing is Tuesday, October 9^th at Fresh Meadow CC, which boasts a well-regarded course and was honored back in June at the MGWA National Awards Dinner as our Met-area Club of the Year. The accolade is a one-time honor that rotates among area clubs from Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester and other nearby regions.

The deadline to sign up for the outing is Thursday, October 4^th at 5:00 pm.

To access full details about the activities planned at Fresh Meadow, including the signup form, please visit our MGWA website (www.metgolfwriters.org) and click on the "Fresh Meadow Outing Information Sheet" link under the “Meetings & Outings” icon.

In addition to a presentation from Fresh Meadow, our golf competition on October 9^th will feature the annual MGWA Team Shootout, a fun and sometimes bewildering two best balls of four event. We encourage members to form teams, give themselves a jocular or rowdy team name, and vie for the many prizes to be awarded.

This is a unique activity, once a year, where not all golfers on a team need to be MGWA members. Other employees or associates from companies, associations, organizations or other related groups are invited to participate. Having a GHIN handicap, though, does help. See the website details about forming a team.

But please note, everyone in the MGWA is invited to attend and play golf. You do not necessarily need to have a full team in order to sign up. Singles are welcome. Two or three from a company or organization are welcome. Where full teams of four golfers are not entered, our Activities Committee will complete the process of assigning teams.

Finally, please don’t wait until the final deadline to sign up, if you can. It helps our committee in planning for the day to have signups as early as possible.

Hope to see everyone on October 9^th at Fresh Meadow!
