Competitions are open to all amateur female players. In the 2-person competitions, male partners are also welcome. A current USGA Index is required. If not available, golfers will play at scratch as determined by the MWGA handicap director. The fee for 18-holes and cart is $63 member/male partner, $83 non-member (a likely reduction to $73 is pending). An additional $10/day optional, paid-in-advance fee is required to participate in games such as skins, closest to the flagstick and chip-in contests. Registration is available online at www.mwgolf.org Deadline for entry is 10 days prior to event date. A first-time one-year new membership cost is $35 so after playing in just two events this cost can be recouped.
The highly regarded MWGA-LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program, offering professional golf instruction will begin the week of June 19 and run through August 11. Beginners’ lessons for girls and boys (ages 7-14) be provided at the Belle Isle Golf Center at Belle Isle State Park in Detroit and a junior league for girls and boys (ages 10-15) will be offered at Beech Wood Golf Course in Southfield.
