What do the dues cover?

 

Much of the Association dues goes toward the administration of an organization with over 20,000 members! The Association Team is always working to find sponsorship and benefit packages for the members. They support chapter and sectional leaders through online resources and leadership training. We, also, offer the Golf Life Management System through which members can track their games, communicate with other players, and receive a USGA Handicap

 

A portion of the above amounts are sent back to the local chapter for our administrative expenses and programs.

Do I have to be a good player to join EWGA?

 

No, you do not have to be a good player to join EWGA.  In fact, many of our members were newer, inexperienced golfers who have improved since joining.  If you have a desire to learn the skills and the "spirit of the game", you are welcome. Some experience and/or lessons are recommended for those joining one of our regular leagues.

Will better golfers be upset when I start playing?

 

All of our membership have started as new golfers and understand what it is like to be a new golfer.  Our Chapter tries to provide an environment where women can learn to play with acceptance.  We provide affordable clinics for those who want to improve their skills.  "The Spirit of the Game" (rules & etiquette) are learned by all of us every day.  We ask that you come ready to learn to be a better golfer.

 

 

How does EWGA benefit experienced players?

We have activities to suit every skill level. 

  • Our Monday league at Roses Run and Thursday league at Fox Den offer challenges for experienced golfers. 

  • We host the largest women's amateur competition, the EWGA Championship Series, which begins at the chapter level and culminates with a final competition against players from across the country and Canada. 

  • Our two weekend traveling leagues play 18-hole rounds at a variety of challenging courses.

  • There are, also, opportunities to golf across the country with other chapters plus you will receive discounts at many resorts and golf schools.
