CSGA Announces Liz Janangelo Caron Women's Player of the Year Award

Beginning in 2017 there will be a Connecticut Women's Player of the Year, the award named in honor of Liz Janangelo Caron, who had an outstanding amateur career, and is now a professional golfer. The player who has accumulated the most points earned in championship tournaments, including qualifiers for USGA events, will be named the player of the year. To be eligible for the Women's Player of the Year a competitor must have competed in at least one Connecticut major championship defined as the CT Women's Open Championship, Women's Amateur Championship, Hartford Women's Open, CWGA Championship, and SNEWGA Championship.

Chits - New Format

Chits have been emailed to the winners of our first two tournaments and we want to let everyone know what to expect. We are using a new process this year and the chit will be the email itself rather than a pdf attached to the email. Make sure admin@cwga.org is in your contacts so the email doesn't go into your spam folder. To redeem, just print the email and bring to your pro shop, or as always you can donate the chit to the PME/CWGA Scholarship Fund by letting Patti Cheyne, our Treasurer, know. Redemption details are included in the chit email, but if you have any questions just send an email to CWGAawards@cwga.org or admin@cwga.org.
