Member clubs generously host a tournament each year. As such, there is an extensive Schedule of Tournaments offered from May to September. We thank each club for offering its facilities. All events require each member to obtain a USGA handicap. On average, a schedule of 20 events is prepared prior to the start of each season. The schedule includes Major Tournaments such as: a 2 Day Championship, a Senior Championship, a Memorial Championship and Four Ball Tournaments. The remainder of the events are played as stroke play events. Major Tournament winners are awarded a monetary prize on the day of the tournament. Upon completion of the 2 Day Championship, a sleeve of balls will be awarded to the player from each division who has the most improved second day gross score. The mission of WCWGA (founded in 1945) was to establish friendly, competitive golf beyond their own groups and clubs. Early members recruited golf clubs throughout Worcester County that would host a WCWGA event. The league started with approximately 50 members and 8 member clubs. For the past 5 years WCWGA has attracted between 225 and 250 members each season. These events are held weekly from May to September. On Opening and Final day, can drives are held. in 2024, a total of 846 pounds of cans were delivered to the Worcester County Food Bank. That amount exceeded the total amount of cans collected in 2023 by 458 pounds. In 2025, WCWGA will celebrate 80 YEARS as a social organization. This endurance is a testimony to the leadership and commitment of a passionate group of lady golfers throughout the years. 0 0 0 Pamela K Smith President 10 0 0 0 Anne Marie Jette Vice President 10 0 0 0 Kristina Conley Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Cathy Giunta Recording Secretary 10 0 0 0 Carol Cawley Corresponding Secretary 10 0 0 0 Diane Everitt Webmaster 10 0 0 0 Joanne Stocklin Membership Chair 10 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46999 0 MA Kristina Conley 40 Rollinson Road Worcester MA 016061518 5088734446 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Other revenue for WCWGA is derived from green and cart fees and lunch (when applicable). These fees are collected from members who choose to enter any of the (20) golf events that are scheduled from May through September. In addition to the above mentioned fees, each entry includes $4 for golf balls and also a $1 contribution which is remitted to the Worcester County Food Bank after each tournament. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Prior to each golf event, the treasurer reconciles the amount due to the golf course with the course representative and remits payment to the course. Golf balls are purchased at the golf course on the day of the event and are awarded for prizes at all tournaments in each division proportionately to the size of the field. Several times during the year, closest to the pin and longest drive awards are also given to members who have accomplished this during the designated event. Additionally, the board of WCWGA plans both a Spring and Fall meeting for the course representatives. The meeting is held at one of the member clubs. Information regarding the upcoming schedule and other business is discussed at the Spring meeting. The Fall meeting acknowledges the time and talents that each course representative graciously provides to the Association during the season.
