Girls Golf
THANK YOU
We would like to say thank you to a couple of ladies golf organizations.
The Women's Golf Association of Northern California gave us a grant to get new golf bags for the girls golf team. Actually there has NEVER been golf bags designated for the girls golf team. So... Thank you.
And the Pacific Women's Golf Association gave us a grant to get a new set of starter clubs for the team.

CURRENT THINGS
Fundraising
We do one fundraiser per year. It is quite profitable for us as a team. We do the parking at the Golf Expo. Yes PROM is on that weekend. You still need to do the fundraiser, both days (yes seniors, that includes you). You must bring one person with you to work - friend, new member for the team, etc. those days.
We sign up for the early morning time slot so that it is cooler for us. We work about 7am-ish to Noon-ish. Not a lot of brain power needed but it is great for us. Thank you to all that came and worked it this year. Especially Gary and Liz Nations. Liz worked both Saturday AND Sunday (real trooper there) and Gary came out Sunday and was also an amazing asset to the effort.
ONLINE STORE
We now have an online store that makes it so you can buy hoodies, etc. You folks can purchase fan gear .

RECRUITING
We are looking for girls golfers to join the team. We have room for several, as many of our golfers are graduating this year, new players. It doesn't matter if you have never played before. We will teach you. If you are a Sophomore or Junior next year we are particularly looking for you.
Come see Coach Murray or Coach Smiley after the 1st of the year.
GOLF ATTIRE
This year you will be providing your own bottom part of your uniform. We will be providing the top and the hat.
For the bottoms. . . you may wear black skorts, black shorts that reach mid thigh while standing up straight, or black slacks. At no time will anything else be acceptable (NO leggings/yoga pants at all!!!)
You do NOT have to get them at a golf course. In fact I would suggest that you NOT to as they can be quite pricey.
