AGES/ELIGIBILITY Open to female amateur golfers that are GSGA members, are above 21 years of age by June 17 and are not on a college golf team roster. |

ENTRY FEE $180 / $90 Promoting Women's Golf - Discounted Entry Fee - In an effort to attract younger women back to and continue in competitive golf, the GSGA is reducing the entry fee for this event for women between the ages of 21 and 29 years old as of the first day of the competition. Women's mid-amateur golf faces a crisis and declining levels of participation. Reduced participation by women who leave the game after college also results in fewer future junior players being introduced to the game by their families. The GSGA is dedicated to making every possible effort to provide competitive golf that is accessible to women of all ages, including the early mid-amateurs who often face the most obstacles related to time and finances. The full entry price to this event for women over 29 is similar to our other 36-hole competitions and we hope all players will support this initiative to promote golf to all women. “Please join us in spreading the word so that more women will join us at the championship and return to playing competitive golf on a regular basis.”
