Every year, usually the third week in May, the
WCGA conducts its three-day stroke play
championship to determine the best women
golfers in the Carolinas.
There are several layers of competition held
simultaneously.
- The Championship division competes at
approximately 5,750 yards and the over-
all champion comes from this field
- The Carolina division competes at approx
5,100 yards
- The WCGA Champion and Senior
Champion are determined from
contestants playing the Championship
Tees.
- The WCGA Carolinas Champion and
Super Senior Champion are
determined from contestants playing the
Carolinas Tees.
- Super-seniors age 65+ compete from the
Carolina tees
- The WCGA Champion, Runner-up, and
Senior winner will automatically qualify for
the current year Carolinas/Virginias
Women’s Team Matches.
Eligibility:
- The tournament is open to any female (at birth) amateur golfer, whose
primary residence is North or South Carolina based on her federal tax
returns, with an established USGA Handicap Index, and who has paid her
WCGA annual dues or is a member of a club which has paid its annual
WCGA dues prior to the entry deadline.
- Any applicant whose club has not joined the WCGA may join for her club or
as an individual by paying the $30 annual dues in addition to her entry fee.
- The field shall be drawn from the 96 players with the lowest Handicap Index
whose entry fees have been paid before the closing of entries.

Are you ready to compete?
If you can answer yes to these questions, it is time for you to take your game on
the road and experience the thrill of competition.
- I regularly count all my strokes, including penalty shots and maintain a
USGA handicap of 20 strokes or better
- If your handicap is less than 10, consider the Championship tees - you are
more than ready.
- I am comfortable playing a course set at over 5,000 yards (if not - give it a
try... you might surprise yourself).
- I currently play in league events that include individual competition - it's
not necessary but it's good experience.
- I would enjoy three days of competition and camaraderie with women from
all over the Carolinas.
