Web Survey
Spring is in the air. Help us shake out the web bugs. We need your feedback, so let us know how the site is working for you.

If you take the Website Survey in Our PDX Library, you will be entered into another drawing for a free golf lesson and driving range card. Plus you'll be helping Portland's Communication Team create the most user-friendly website in the EWGA nation.

Check out the Web Survey Blog and the video link attached to it for a great discussion on perspective and happiness.

ABOUT EWGA


EWGA, a not-for-profit membership association, was created 21 years ago to bring together women who love to play the game of golf. It offers them the chance to use golf for personal and professional growth -- and to have fun in the process.

The organization has nearly 15,000 members in more than 120 U.S. chapters, along with international chapters in Canada and Italy, and one being added this year in Ireland. EWGA has captured the ear of the golfing industry and is using its influence to create business, golfing and networking opportunities for its members everywhere.
Portland Chapter
The Portland Chapter of EWGA was founded in 1994 and currently has more than 200 members of all ages, golf skills and walks of life. In addition to weekly leagues, weekend events and competition, our Chapter offers golf clinics, social events and networking opportunities.
