Cleveland Women's Golf Association                  


Welcome
Celebrating our 85th year!

The Cleveland Women's Golf Association (CWGA), was founded in 1923.  The purpose of this organization is to promote fellowship and competition among member clubs, conduct tournaments and championship events, and establish and maintain high standards of sportsmanship.  

Properly organized clubs located within a radius of 35 miles of the Cleveland Public Square shall be eligible for membership, limited to sixteen (16) clubs in number.  

The Executive Board provides leadership for the Association. CWGA works and in accordance with the rules adopted by the United States Golf Association (USGA).

 

Dear Members,

It is quite a privilege for me to serve as your President during the 85th Anniversary of CWGA.  We have such a fine organization, and I am proud to be a part of it.

 We are all aware of the continuing challenges some of our clubs are having with membership stability. Our goal is to promote CWGA enthusiasm and participation in the midst of this uncertainty.  We encourage all members to express to friends from their club and from other clubs how fun it is to play in our events and not be so conscious of skill levels.  CWGA is not based on “tour” parameters.  Yes, we have our championships, but we are intra-club participants in this great game, with emphasis on enjoyment and interaction.  The CWGA Board continues to listen to your ideas and suggestions and will strive to meet your wishes.

 I look forward to co-operation from all committees and representatives so that we may serve to the betterment of CWGA in 2008.

 Thank you to all the clubs and their Boards of Trustees for hosting our tournaments.  We also give a special thank you to our Pros and Grounds Crews without whom we could not play on such beautiful courses.  I personally want to thank Mayfield Sand Ridge for hosting the 2008 District Championship.

 See you at a CWGA golf event.

 Sincerely,

 Sherry Robinson
