WELCOME TO CWGA

The Connecticut Women’s Golf Association was founded in 1919,  and the purpose of this non-profit association is to provide competitive golf opportunities for its members, to promote understanding of the rules of golf, and to encourage female golfers statewide. Beginning each spring, members can enjoy several rounds of golf, meet new friends and experience many levels of competition during the season.

Competitive events include individual stroke play and better/best ball tournaments. Member Championships and other competitions involving teams from surrounding states are held annually. Each fall, teams from our member clubs are invited to take part in the CWGA Presidents' Cup Team Matches, a highly competitive and exciting series played in match-play format. 

100th Endicott Cup & Tri-State Matches

Tumble Brook CC - Oct 7-9


The 100th Endicott Tournament is complete!

The CWGA has so much to be proud of and thankful for.

The weather  A perfect day to start, some rain in the middle that cleared after a slight delay for another great fall day 2. Day three was a little more challenging with wind and chilly temperatures but all in all great for October golf. All this made more special thanks to the Tumble Brook staff; Rory Maxwell head Professional and superintendent Cindy Johnson who prepared the course seamlessly.

Support behind the scenes Special thanks to Toby Schuman for all the site planning and Linda Weintraub. The Tumble Brook staff provided excellent food and drink. Lastly but most importantly the CWGA people who were responsible for  the flawless details. Brenda Basson major tournament chair and Steve Basson rules expert extraordinaire as well as Scott Newman. Sarah Lane, 2nd VP picked up all the slack.   Team Captains Joyce Curran and Donna Harris were beamimg with pride and ready for next year in Rhode Island.

The Competitors Massachusetts and Rhode Island were excellent contenders, many who are old friends and perhaps new ones were made.

The Results  Congratulations to Mercedese (Ellie) Large who bested the field for her third title with scores of 75-81.  

Tri State Cup Gross Match Play Competition - Winner Team Connecticut.  Eaton Cup Net Match Play Competition - Winner Team Connecticut.

THAT IS A CLEAN SWEEP BY CONNECTICUT!
