Connecticut Women's Golf Associationproviding competitive golfing opportunities for its members since 1919 |
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.
There was an important announcement made regarding the CWGA scholarship program at the CWGA Closing Day Tournament and Lunch held at Highland Golf Club on October 3, 2024.
"A perpetual scholarship to honor Marion Hyde is now being created due to a very generous donation from an anonymous donor."
The annual Endicott Competition was held at Woods Hole Golf Club in Massachusetts on Cape Cod, October 8-10. Many thanks to our team captains, Joyce Curran and Donna Harris.
In this three day competition, the CWGA is pitted against Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The first 2 days are individual stroke play against the field competing for the coveted Endicott Cup. Those results are used to determine 2 teams for each state. An 8 person team gross (Tristate) and an 8 person net team (Eaton Cup) competes on the third day.
Congratulations to team CT who won this years Tri State Cup Gross team competition!
Thank you to Members at Old Lyme

The winners of the Nancy Lehr Cup were Michelle Abraham (CWGA member), Susan Kayeum, Beth Sullivan and Barbara Kanter.

It was an excellent day all around at Racebrook CC for the Medallion Tournament! Many thanks to all of the staff at Racebrook. The lunch was way beyond our normal “salad fare”. With our commendable pace of play the rain came down while we all were dining.
Congratulations to the winners, Jenny Mortell (L) and JoAnne Bentley (R) of TPC River Highlands.
The annual Stroke Play Championship for the Seniors (55+), Legends (70+) and Juniors was recently held at Shuttle Meadow CC. The course was challenging, but several were able to slay it.
