Announcement: Women's Amateur Championship

February 12, 2021


Dear GWGA member,


We would like to announce that Georgia Women’s Golf Association has entered into an agreement with Georgia State Golf Association whereby GSGA will conduct the Georgia Women’s Amateur Championship starting in 2021.


After careful consideration and much deliberation, we came up with an agreement that will move this Championship forward as an elite event while preserving the history of the tournament. Our active perpetual trophies will be presented at the Championship by GWGA and GSGA representatives. 


The 2021 Championship will be held at Coosa Country Club in Rome June 28-30.

Thank you for your continued support of GWGA and women’s golf. We look forward to seeing you at our 2021 Four Ball April 26 & 27 in Jekyll Island. Registration opens on March 1.


Sincerely,


GWGA Board of Directors

2021 President Letter from Lisa Murdock

2021

  

January 12, 2021


Dear GWGA members,

It is an honor to serve as your President. On behalf of the 2021 Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support through your participation in our tournaments and support of our grant program.

Congratulations to the 2020 Georgia Women’s Amateur Champion, Sara Im, of Duluth. Sara defeated Thienna Huynh of Lilburn on the seventh hole in a thrilling play-off to win The Championship at The Oakridge Course at The Landings Club in Savannah.

We also wish to congratulate our winners from the 2020 Four Ball. Betsy Butler and Farah Reynolds were our overall winners with a net score of 131. Gross Division winners were Diane Chancellor and Kathy Hudson with a score of 138.

Also in 2020, we were honored to award grants to six schools. Carrollton High, Fannin County High, Grady High, Lambert High, Veterans High and Woodward Academy. It was such a privilege to visit these schools and present our grants to these young ladies and their coaches. They were very appreciative for the financial support for their programs. We would like to thank everyone, including all the LGA’s that participated in the LGA Challenge, for your donations. Together, we are doing great things for girl’s golf in our state.

Our annual Four Ball Tournament will be held at Jekyll Island Golf Club April 26 & 27, 2021. Registration will open March 1. After taking into consideration the USGA women’s handicap averages, the current slope/rating of the Jekyll courses, the new World Handicap System and feedback from our members, we have decided to make the following changes to this year’s Four Ball:

1. The maximum allowed handicap index will change from 23.2 to 30.0 (the 95% of the handicap allowance will remain)

2. We have expanded gross awards to the top three finishers

3. Players must have posted five (5) 18-hole scores in the past 12 months.

The Georgia Women’s Amateur Championship will be held June 28, 29, and 30, 2021, at Coosa Country Club in Rome.

We wish to thank our 2020 retiring Chair of the Board and Past President-JoAnn Setliffe, 2nd Vice President JoAnn Timm, and Board member-Betsy Butler for their years of dedicated service to GWGA.

We welcome to our 2021 Board: Nancy Early, Savannah, who will serve as 2nd Vice President, Beth Turner, Sandersville, who will serve as Recording Secretary and Darla Stahl, St. Simons, who will serve as Fundraising Chair.

Thank you for being a GWGA member and supporter. We look forward to a great golf year in 2021.

Warm regards,

Lisa Murdock

2020-2021 GWGA Board of Directors
