The EWGA Fort Lauderdale Chapter held its annual Tournament for the Cure on October 9, 2016, bringing in
net proceeds of $14.500
to benefit the Memorial Foundation and Women's Imaging Center of Broward County. The golf event was hosted by the Club of Emerald Hills in Hollywood and over 100 participants enjoyed not only a fantastic round of golf but also a delicious dinner afterwards.

Our chapter has had a very busy summer with lots of fun! We have 32 women who qualified and will be traveling to Palm Springs, California to participate in the EWGA Cup Finals on November 11 and 12. This is the largest cup finals that EWGA has held and I know all these ladies are looking forward to going and participating in this event. Good luck to all.
Our Tournament for a Cure held at Emerald Hills on October 9th was a big success. Thanks to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, gathered donations and served on the organizational committee. This event would not have happened without great leadership, and that came from Tracy Nessl. This year we raised over $14,000 for the Memorial Foundation. Thanks Tracy and to all Cure volunteers!!

Divot in Line of Putt
When playing today, my ball landed right behind a large divot someone made on the putting green. The divot was about 6 inches long and about 5 inches away from the cup, filled with sand, right in my line of putt. I was wondering if I am allowed relief from the divot. It was in a state of repair. Would this be considered as unusual ground or ground under repair?
If you are just playing with friends, move the ball to the nearest spot no closer to the hole where the divot will not interfere with your line of putt. If you are playing in a tournament, and no official is available, play two balls under Rule 3-3 (one as it lies and one with complete relief) and bring the matter to the Committee for a ruling. (Don't forget to declare which ball you wish to count before you hit either of them.) They should rule that the divot is ground under repair and that you are entitled to free relief.
