CWDGA MEMBERSHIP SERVICES
The Chicago Women’s District Golf Association (CWDGA)
was organized in 1930 under the sponsorship and guidance of
the Women’s Western Golf Association. Its purpose is the
advancement of the best interests of women’s golf at its
member clubs, located in and around the Chicago area. The
CWDGA currently serves seventy-four member clubs in five
sections - Central, Northeast, Northwest, South and West.
Each year the CWDGA conducts Four-Ball Match Play in each of
the five sections and four district-wide tournaments:
Championship; One-Day Stroke Play; Better-Ball of Pairs and
Senior Better-Ball of Pairs. Any woman golfer from a member
club in good standing who meets the CWDGA eligibility and
handicap requirements is eligible to play in all events. To
remain in good standing, unless there are exceptional
circumstances, a member club must allow the use of its
facilities when requested, which is usually once every two
to three years for Four-Ball Match Play and once every ten
to fifteen years for a tournament. The Golf Chair and Team
Captain at each member club are responsible for assisting
the CWDGA in securing play dates at their home course.
In addition to golf events, the CWDGA provides the following
services to its member clubs: a comprehensive website
www.cwdga.org with access to Four-Ball Match Play and
tournament information, continuing development of on-line
resources; links to other Chicago and Illinois golf
associations; uniform course and slope ratings;
participation in EZLinks Golf, Inc.; The Handbook for Golf
Chair publication; meetings to assist member clubs in
setting-up their local golf programs; Rules seminars;
instructions in handicapping and Rules interpretation and
presentation of CWDGA hole-in-one pins. Membership dues are
assessed by the CWDGA for each club. Assistance to member
clubs is available from the CWDGA throughout the season.
