Ladies, are you curious about SNEWGA (Southern New England Women's Golf Association)? Have you been yearning to play more golf and participate in friendly interclub competitions? Well SNEWGA just may be the organization for you.
With over 40 member courses, primarily located in CT, you are bound to find a course near your home that is looking for new club members who want to participate in SNEWGA activities. Most of the clubs are public or semi-private clubs but there are some private clubs that have joined so that their members with higher handicaps will have an opportunity to play more competitive golf.
SNEWGA is very inexpensive to join, only $10 per year, in addition to your local club dues. Participation in events which run from May through October have different costs based on the location and tournament package (green fees, carts, lunch and prizes are typically included and awarded the same day).
To play in SNEWGA events you must belong to a member club and maintain a USGA handicap. SNEWGA does not restrict handicap levels for those who wish to join the organization, while some other state organizations limit their memberships to lower handicapped players.
To encourage more women to come out and play golf and learn more about SNEWGA, on March 10th a social will be held at Stanley Golf Course in New Britain from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Below are the details pertaining to the SNEWGA Social and a link to SNEWGA's website to find out more about this fine organization.
As a member of this organization for almost 30 years, I can attest to the well run events, the ability to meet other golfers and make lifelong friendships while competing in a friendly atmosphere. Hope to see you at the social. If you plan on going please remember to RSVP.
