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."
Thank you to Members at Old Lyme
Following three postponements due to rain, the Nancy Lehr Memorial event to benefit PME Scholarships was finally held at Old Lyme. As in the past, they had a wonderful turnout for the event and raised $2250 for PME. We continue to be grateful to the members of the OLCC Women’s Golf Association for continuing to enthusiastically support the scholarships.
The winners of the Nancy Lehr Cup were Michelle Abraham (CWGA member), Susan Kayeum, Beth Sullivan and Barbara Kanter.

Thanks and appreciation to The Farms CC, Jim Hanlon (the most excellent pro to work with), and Barbara Berlepsch for organizing and hosting CWGA. |
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. Congratulations to the winners and a shout out to all the volunteers and staff at Shuttle Meadow. Brenda Basson, Major Tournament Chairperson, is pictured in photos with winners.
