What is EWGA ™ The Association is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, on the grounds of the PGA National Resort and Spa. An Executive Director, Sara Hume, Manages the operation of the Association. The headquarters staff consists of 14 employees in addition to the Director. ™ Since 1991, the EWGA has touched the lives of over 85,000 women. This not-for-profit membership association currently has nearly 20,000 members in over 120 chapters throughout the United States, along with international Chapters in Canada and France, offering a wide range of organized golf activities, player development and education programs, volunteer, social and networking opportunities for both novice and experienced golfers. ™ Chapters are governed by a Board of Directors that consists of five officers and appointed Chairs of standing committees. Chapters are organized into 12 sections, with each section represented by a Section Director. Section Directors are key volunteer leaders who serve as liaisons between the Association and the individual Chapters of EWGA. ™ EWGA Chapter activities typically include: an annual "kick off" event; 2 to 3 major tournaments; weekly ‘after work' 9-hole league play; business networking and social functions; weekend golf outings; golf rules and etiquette seminars; education programs; a Chapter Championship (the qualifying event in the EWGA Championship); charity fundraising events; and volunteer installation and recognition events. ™ In addition to membership dues, the EWGA is supported by a number of sponsoring corporations including PGA of America, The Golf Channel, Golf Digest, Callaway, Portfolio, Bette & Court, Cutter & Buck, Company, TaylorMade-Adidas, NIKE Golf, PGA Tour, American Airlines, Golfsmith, Addidas, and Talbots. ™ .The EWGA Championship is the largest women's amateur golf tournament in the United States and the only one that has flights designed for players of all skill levels. The EWGA Championship is held annually in the Fall. Participants are required to have a USGA approved handicap index. Two separate competitions are held: for individual stroke play in five flights based on handicap at time of entry and a 4-woman scramble team competition based on a team handicap. Participants begin competition at their local Chapter Championships, with the winners of each of 15 Districts advancing to the Championship Finals. In 2007, over 2,400 women participated in the EWGA Championship tournament. |
