subject: Women on Course [print this page] On Tuesday, September 21st, I attended a fantastic women's networking group. It's not your typical Mary Kay, Cookie Lee, and crafts networking event (no offense ladies, that stuff is great) it's professionals out to do business and to play some golf.
Held at Coto De Caza Golf and Raquet Club, the Women on Course group put on quite a successful event. The event started off with a light mixer and a LPGA golf pro speaker who was going to be out on the course for clinics, followed by a fitness expert speaker showing specific workouts tailored to golf. Once the speakers concluded we were off to the greens. Three different groups were available, 1 a clinic of lessons, 2 a lesson with a few holes to play and 3 a nine hole scramble (which I played)
The group that I was teamed up with was perfect, Jan who I've played with before is always fun to play with and two women from Newport Beach rounded out our foursome and I enjoyed getting to know them as well. It was a gorgeous day and although I wish I played better I hit a good amount of drives, chip shots and putts that I can be proud of.
On the networking side of things, I have to say it's an excellent group. Great mix of attorneys, designers, CPAs and marketing professionals. On the social side of things, it was equally great. After all the golf was to be had, free flowing wine sponsored my Mirassou, delicious cheese croquets, seared ahi on toasted crisps and chicken skewers in pineapples hit the spot. I had two mini plates but could easily have put away four.
I have to give this event two thumbs up and will definitely be attending the next event. For more info visit their website: www.womenoncourse.com.
