Being a member of the EWGA has improved my golf
game and has also improved my self worth. This
organization cares about its members, not only
who they are but how they are both personally and
professionally. Through this organization I have
found the family that I never had, and made
friendships across the country. When I talk to
other people about EWGA, it is with a sense of
pride that I belong to an organization that I
know cares that I am a member. I am proud to say
I am a member of the EWGA.Christy Bartlett
