It has been an exciting summer for Women's golf in North Carolina!  In June, we held the 61st Annual North Carolina Women's Amateur Championship at beautiful Gaston Country Club.  Our thanks to Tournament Chairman, Jane Chapman, her team of volunteers, the members of Gaston Country Club, and the entire Gaston Country Club staff for rolling out the red carpet for us!  Their attention to detail was incredible and all the players and guests had a memorable experience.

Congratulations to Laura Wearn, our Champion and Medalist.  Laura shot an impressive 213 to capture the Championship title. We are proud of all the ladies who participated in the Championship. We had a fabulous week of great golf and the opportunity to make new friends and rekindle old friendships.  For pictures and results from our Championship, please click on the Championship link.

Save the date for our 62nd Annual North Carolina Women's Amateur Championship, June 13 - 16, 2011. We are heading back to the Eastern part of the State and will hold the Championship at River Landing, in Wallace, North Carolina.  Please make your plans to join us!

This summer North Carolina hosted the U.S. Junior Girls' Championship as well as the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.  Congratulations to all our members who participated in these Championships.  In addition, we are proud of our many members who served as volunteers for these events.

The 54th Carolinas/Virginias Team Matches were held this July at River Run Country Club, in Davidson, North Carolina.  Congratulations to the Carolinas Team which won by an impressive margin 66 to 42.

Our North Carolina Women's 6th Annual Team Net Tournament is quickly approaching.  Make plans to attend the tournament, September 11 & 12 at Little River Golf & Resort, in Carthage, North Carolina.  This tournament continues to be one of the favorite women's golf events in North Carolina.  Team Net Tournament Chairman, Kim Jones, has been hard at work ensuring everyone will have a great experience.  For more information, please click on our Team Tournament link.

In closing, many thanks to our member clubs, individual members, and the Carolina's Golf Association for continuing to support our mission of supporting and promoting women's golf in North Carolina.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.  We look forward to seeing you on the course!
