This is the best description to give to my experience at the Chesapeake Semi-Final District. A fantastic golf facility on the Eastern Shore of Maryland called Queenstown Harbor coupled with the most perfect golf day of the year equaled quite a memorable experience . This facility has 36 holes and is more known for its River course which has spectacular views of the water, but its Lakes course is no slouch itself. This was the competitive course that posed a nice challenge for the Championship competitors.
And how can I forget the AMAZING weather! 85 degrees and hardly any humidity on AUG. 9th. What is wrong with this picture? All who attended this day were very blessed to experience not only a great golf course, but to also experience it on one of the nicest days of the year. THANK YOU, MOTHER NATURE!!!
There were some intense times with a few interesting rulings. How do you proceed, in accordance with the Rules, if your golf ball enters a regular or lateral water hazard? I’m sure the women of the Chesapeake area will be sure to give you proper instruction. Remember page #16 on the USGA’s little booklet to the Rules of Golf.
Oh, and if you’re ever in the Eastern Shore area, be sure to visit a cute little town called Easton. You will surely enjoy the quaintness and the history. Be sure to try the crab imperial if it’s on the menu. : )

Walkin' in Memphis... well Tunica MS to be exact
By: Stephanie Jennings
What a fun place to be if you enjoy taking a little risk at the casinos and on the golf course. The Tunica National Golf course was definitely a risk-reward layout with lateral water hazards lining almost every hole and bunkers strategically positioned for an additional challenge. Add to this a little Delta heat and you have one tough Semi-Final Championship.
Personally, I was very pleased with the great hospitality of the Southern “folk” of Mississippi and very satisfied with the conditions of the course. The staff at Tunica National takes pride in their facility and knows that they work at a destination course sought out by many people all over the country. Of course they were more than accommodating and welcoming to our EWGA competitors and guests, and for this we were very grateful.
As I mentioned, Tunica National was a great challenge. However, a great competitor and member of the Greater Knoxville, TN Chapter, Robin Banner, tamed this wild beast with a great score of 82 and was the Eastern Midwest Semi-Final Champion. On the Scramble side, the Memphis Chapter made the home crowd proud by shooting a stellar 69 net to take the crown and advance to the Finals. Of course, not to be forgotten was the intense sudden death play-off between fourth flight competitors Jackie Dixon (St. Louis MO) and Tiffany Young (Central Arkansas), basically a battle of the ages. Even before the playoff, Jackie asked me if she could get an award for the oldest player in the Semi-Final since this was her first EWGA Championship ever. Well low and behold she proved, by winning that playoff, that the older and wiser do prevail. Congratulations Jackie and to all of the Eastern Midwest players and winners!
Jessica and I enjoyed our time in the wonderful area of Tunica Resorts MS and can’t wait to come back and play those fantastic penny slot machines!!

Feelin' HOT, HOT, HOT...
by: Stephanie Jennings
This is how Jewell “Kip” Malick, from the Dallas Chapter, was feeling after her spectacular round at the 2008 EWGA Texas Semi-Final Championship which was held at the Golf Club at Champions Circle in Fort Worth, TX. She scored a fantastic 79 and contributed much of her win to caddie, coach and friend Anna Schultz.
Of course, Fort Worth in the middle of July can push the 100 degree mark, but this is nothing unusual for the Ladies representing the Houston Scramble team as they defended their winning ways with a stellar net score of 67.
The Golf Club at Champions Circle, a Troon Golf course, is a little gem just north of the city of Fort Worth. The many lateral and regular water hazards not only posed challenges for the players, but also provided a lovely fitness workout for the Tournament Committee as they went through and painted each and every hazard on the course. Although tedious, a well marked golf course helps players in deciding how to proceed in accordance with the USGA Rules of Golf.
And how can I forget “Lil’ Deb”, from the Houston Chapter who made her appearance in Fort Worth. She was passed on to the Dallas Scramble team who strapped her to the top of their cart where, I’m sure, she got a fantastic tan. For those who are not familiar with Lil’ Deb, please visit the Houston Chapter website to read more. Welcome Home “Big Deb” and thank you serving our country in Iraq!
Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all who participated.
