The Executive Board would like to thank all DWGA members who responded to our recent survey. The Board is working hard to provide DWGA members the best golfing experience possible. Results of the survey showed that our members would prefer a better distribution of tournament prizes, lower tournament fees and new tournament formats. Please go to the Tournament Schedule section of this website to see the new formats for this year. Fees have been lowered on many of the tournaments and a higher percentage of participants will win prizes this season. Prize payout will depend on the number of entries.

New for this year is online registration for both dues and tournaments. Currently, online payment for dues is available. On March 1, 2012, online tournament registration will begin. One person will be responsible for registering her team, so get your teams together and register early for your favorite tournaments. A great challenge this year will be our 60th Amateur Tournament to be held at Hartefeld National GC. The Board hopes that this premier course will attract many of its members to participate in this event. This will be a chance for the downstate ladies to spend an evening or two upstate. Also our Senior Championship Tournament will be held at The Rookery, with a Sunday afternoon start and the second round on Monday morning. This will give the upstate ladies an evening at the beach for an overnight stay. Our Operations Manager, Jen O'Brien, has done an excellent job in arranging this year's tournament schedule and we are looking forward to a golf season filled with tournament fun.

And, don't forget about Open Days which is one of the great benefits of the DWGA. There are many men in the DSGA who are envious of this perk that comes with our DWGA membership. We offer a great selection of courses with many dates available for cart fees only. If you haven't tried an Open Day then this is the year to do so. Some of the clubs also have a guest pass where you can bring along a non-DWGA member for cart fees only.

The DWGA Opening Meeting will be held April 4, 2012 at Maple Dale Country Club, with the meeting starting at 10:00 a.m., lunch at noon, and golf at 1:30. Encourage your delegate to attend and have her bring you along!

Best wishes for a fun-filled 2012 golfing season!
