Good Times Roll at “Suds on the Green”

The rain far from spoiled the event that day. 

   

                   Sirens ”FORE” Eagles

                      Casey of Sports Page Magazine zooms in on a key shot

Everyone was invited at the ninth hole where they were under the protection of tents with the best seats in  the house where ever they stood.  Everyone was mingling from other tents laughing and joking during tournament play.  The team members themselves got in with the crowd as cheering and hollaring was heard for that good shot from the tee.

Fun, Fans and Good Times was the atomosphere that filled the air at ”Suds on the Green” Saturday at William Land Golf Course. 

 

The Sacramento Eagles hosted its third National Golf League tournament, by far the most fun this blogger has attended in the last three years of NGL Events.  I think this one may have marked a new direction for the league.  “It’s all about the fans” was a true statement that I will go on record saying again.  This particular event I was wearing three different hats.  The first, I was there representing the media, the second a Sacramento Sirens invited guest in support and in cheer for the Sacramento Eagles and the third as a representative for a visiting team that I put on hold until after the days event end.  Letting my guard down, while still maintaining a sense of professionalism as the camera was clicking for what entertained me the most.  This I hadn’t seen at any of the NGL Events in a long time.  The feeling of one with the fans and all the team members of the Eagles, Zone, Power, Breakers, Drivers and Spin.  Laughter and good times filled the air.   Yes, it also could have been due to the Unlimited Beer Tasting, Great Food, Good Music with sponsors such as Budweiser, Coca Cola, Lexus of Sacramento, Markstein Beverage Co., ESPN 1320 AM and Outback Steakhouse.

The crowd also got together cheering on 10 contestants as Lexus of Sacramento offered a $1000 giveaway to sink a 25 foot putt at the ninth hole.  Many other giveaways were also presented by other groups for Rhythm & Ribs tickets at Raley Field, sneak preview of the movie Game Plan, golf ball and tee giveaways at the spin the wheel drawing by Wachovia as well as golf tees provided by The First Tee to name just a few.

Proceeds for “Suds on the Green” benefited The First Tee Greater Sacramento.  An organization that helps improve the lives of young people through the game of golf.   For more information visit www.tftgs.org.

SWFFA off to a Great Start

(Information provided by Teala Schaff of SWFFA)

The league is off to a great start, thanks in large part to our sponsors:  Sac NOW, Wilson and Hanger 17.  We’ll have four leagues a year, all at Curtis Park, for women 18 and older and have launched a “loose” women’s list for those who want to play, but have no team.  We’ll be pairing those women with teams who need some extra players and/or forming teams of the ladies on the list.  

All of our members have game-day flag football sports accident insurance, something the city leagues have never offered, and we feel will give some piece of mind and added protection to our members.  Further, the Association has formed a league advisory committee consisting of a representative from each team that will provide input on all league activities and serve as the final say on any call disputes (i.e. jury of our peers).  

Lastly, we’ve been reaching out to the local Curtis Park community association
(Sierra Curtis Community Association) to educate and involve the immediate
community and neighbors on our league.

On a sad note, one of our long-time supporters, Gale Woolstencroft,
passed away in her sleep last week of a heart attack.  Both of her daughters
(Libby and Katie) play on our team as well as the Sirens.  Our sports
community will be memorializing her support throughout the year and we will miss
her constant attendance, unrivaled support and warm smile on our sidelines.
She attended every game and every practice and is known as “Mom G” by
hundreds of women in sports throughout the Sacramento region.

Our team, the Dogg Pound, is working to get a tree planted at the park in her honor, so that she can continue to be present for generations to come.   RIP Mom G.

A Season Starts in Memory

(Thank you for the information provided by Teala Schaff )

In loving memory of Mom G, teams wore black armbands in her honor today. She was everyone’s Mom on and off the field. Rain or shine she was there with cooler and chair. Her memory will live on in all our hearts, with the stories we tell, she will still put that smile on our face. Her chair may be empty, but her memory will not be lost.

Today was the inauguration for the new Sacramento Women’s Flag Football Association.  SWFFA Executive Director, Karen Leon provided opening remarks on the collaboration of the new organization and league within the community.  “The start of this season is a cumulating of many passions”, said Leon.  “The passion of this new founded organization will provide opportunities to all women who would like to play quality organized sports and women’s flag football”.

 The league was inaugurated by the iconic “Dee” capping remarks with “It’s a beautiful day for football”, despite the greyed drizzle.  Four teams battled for the first spot ranking, yet Dogg Pound captured the #1 slot for the first games of the fall season.  Season vets, young blood and fresh meat will rendezvous next week for the second week of the fall league with games at 10 am, 11 am and 12 pm at Curtis Park.

Sirens Cheer on the Eagles at William Land Park

Come out and meet the Sacramento Sirens , women’s professional tackle football team, this weekend at William Land Park Golf Course as they give their support to the Sacramento Eagles (www.sacramentoeagles.com), NGL Professional Golf Team.  The National Golf League (www.ngl.tv) is now in its third season.  

 From the NGL website:

“With a desire to cater to the fan at golf tournaments and provide a highly competitive venue for aspiring professional golfers, the National Golf League was creatively hatched”.

This weekend’s venue is going to be a little different.  The Arena Football concept comes alive this weekend for golf and beer enthusiasts as the Sacramento Eagles go against the five Northern California teams of the National Golf League in a golf tournament like no other.  Canopy suites, along with 40 breweries set the stage on the ninth hole with music and exciting “team golf” drama.

Enthusiasm and cheering is encouraged in the NGL.

Join the Sacramento Sirens out on the Ninth Hole and come cheer on the Sacramento Eagles, who have been very supportive of the Sirens team during the 2007 season.  The tournament begins on Saturday, September 22, at 11 a.m. and admission to the tournament is free.

The Brew Fest with unlimited beer tasting from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm in connection with this tournament and The First Tee of Sacramento benefits from proceeds.  Cost is $18
