Women: Join us for Many Great RDGA Tournament Opportunities This Season!

 
Women members of the Rochester District Golf Association will have many opportunities to enter fun, challenging and competitive tournaments this season.
 
Among the events open exclusively for women on the 2016 RDGA tournament schedule are the popular RDGA Women’s Open in August, back for a third year and hosted by Brook-Lea Country Club, as well as the prestigious RDGA Women’s Championship Danielle E. Downey Memorial in July at Ridgemont Country Club. Also open to women are the new RDGA Handicap Championship, the Two Person Scramble and the Two Person Four Ball – not to mention the three RDGA Play Days scheduled this year.

PLUS – two new team events added to the 2016 RDGA tournament schedule: the inaugural RDGA Women’s Four Person Handicap Team Scramble and the Buffalo-Rochester Team Event!

Our first ever four-person scramble event for women will be hosted by CenterPointe Country Club on Sunday, June 12. Come out and test your golf game in a fun competition.
 
The inaugural RDGA Women’s Handicap Team Scramble will feature:
  • Teams consisting of four women golfers – that’s it!
  • Players will be able to chose who to play with: teams may come from the same club or from different clubs.
  • All levels of play are welcome – part of your strategy is putting together a team with the winning combination of skills and handicaps.
  • The entry fee will include golf, cart, range, tee gift, prizes and hors d’ouerves after the round during the scoring and awards.
If you don’t have a full team and want us to help you find players – or, if you have any other questions about the Women’s Handicap Team Scramble – send a note to Debbie Harper at: debbieharper@rdga.org.
 
ALSO, four-person teams from RDGA Member Clubs – men and women – are invited to play in the recently-added Buffalo-Rochester Team Event, scheduled for July 31 at Terry Hills Golf Course in Batavia. Women will compete in their own division in this event, in which four members from the same club will play together, with the lowest three scores on each hole being counted towards the team score.
