Fore Women Golf AssociationFWGA CELEBRATES 20 YEARS!
FWGA is proud to announce our 20th anniversary! We celebrated during our first tournament of 2016 at Eagle Vines Golf Club. Our tournament season got off to a great start with 42 players in attendance, 15 were past members who remembered the beginning days of FWGA. We also had 5 past presidents playing…Tina Higashi 2000-2001, Judy Miller 2004-2005, April Kenyon 2008, Tami Waddell 2012-2013 and Della Gutierrez 2014-2015.
Players showed up early to warm up their sticks and get their game on. Lunch was provided and our “Pay it Forward” program was on site to promote our new logo wear. It was a flurry of activity!
Eagle Vines supplied us with a shotgun start at noon and the format was two best low net balls. There were two flights and very close competition.
First place in the “A” flight went to Maureen Richardson, Della Gutierrez, Cheryl Ramirez and Liz Riddle with a team score of 125. 2nd place in the “A” Flight was Julie Campiotti, Terri Malatesta, April Kenyon and Tami Waddell with a score of 130.
