Our spring clinics at both ARL and FFX took us through much of March, in spite of less than ideal weather some days, leading us to our annual membership meeting, raffle fund-raiser, and spring luncheon on Wednesday, 28 March. Our regular Tuesday (ARL) and Friday (FFX) play days are now underway, getting us ready for our first tournament, the Spring Fling (Friday, 27 April at FFX), always a fun battle of ABCD- arranged foursomes. We are delighted to welcome 3 new members to WGO-18: Linda Banton, Jane Keith, and Kathleen Nilles. If you are thinking about joining, please check us out on our website here or contact Membership Chair, Debbie Dawson, at debbiedawson10@icloud.com . April means it is time for a golf tune-up as we try to shed bad habits and renew our commitment to this great game and the friends that it allows us to make on the way. This year the CWGO skills clinics – Wednesday evenings at ARL and Thursday evenings at FFX – are open to all women who are eligible to play golf at Army Navy. These clinics, which run from 5:30 to 6:30 PM, provide an opportunity for working women to focus on their game, meet other like-minded club members and learn from different members of the professional staff. The cost is $25 per clinic. For topics and to register, please go to the Golf Calendar on the ANCC website. Once the clinics are over, weeknight play commences with the Wild Wednesday Scramble at ARL on Wednesday, 2 May and a regular play day on Thursday, 3 May at Fairfax. In addition to renewed focus on Wednesday and Thursday evening play at both courses, CWGO will have Saturday tee times available on almost every Saturday in the golf season. The first of our monthly special events is Saturday, 28 April for the annual Memorial Stableford. This event will be at Arlington with tee times starting around noon. Learn about these events and more on the newly updated CWGO page on the ANCC website. Contact Tina Gwilliam, Membership Chair ( CWGO.membership@gmail.com ), if you would like more information on joining the group. CWGO CAREER WOMEN’S GOLF ORGANIZATION
