WDCGA: Women’s District of Columbia Golf Association
It’s been a busy few weeks of golf for the Career Women’s Golf Organization with lots to look forward to! In May we held our Charity Best Ball Tournament to raise funds for breast cancer. Congratulations to our winners Beth Foster, Gwen Maurice, Sherrie Balko and Deena Holingsworth! We also held our rescheduled Memorial Stableford Tournament which was won by E.R. Anderson.

The WDCGA is well underway with the 2023 season. Three teams have been competing during April and May in Match Play competition throughout the region. Representing Army Navy in Division I are Shelley Savage (Captain), Emily Abeling, Marie Anderson, Judi Enright, Maile Fries and Jill Van Tine. Huge Congratulations, Ladies, on a very impressive 1st place finish for Net points and a very close 2 nd place finish for Gross points. Division III is currently just two points behind the leader as they head into their last match of the season. Good luck to the team consisting of Pam Quinn (Captain), Margaret Ann Connors, Shara Fordyce, Tina Gwilliam, Amy Hawkins and Didi Summers. Congratulations to the Division V team consisting of Andi Carpenter (Captain), Laurie Bravo, Carol Mills and Susan Walthall for finishing 4 th in their Division. Many thanks to Danielle Hetzler, Jaehwa Kim, and Linda Nguyen for stepping in as substitutes when needed. It has been a fun, successful season and a treat to play other great courses in the area. On the Tournament front, the weather did not cooperate for the Ice Breaker at Argyle Country Club. The Houlahan Cup, however, was played at Mt Vernon Country Club with a crowded field of competitors from many clubs throughout the area. Congratulations to the following ANCC Members who finished “in the money”- Linda Nguyen and Tina Gwilliam were 1 st and 2 nd respectively in the 3 rd flight, Becky Harper finished 2 nd in the 6 th flight, and Mary Blair finished 1 st in the 7 th flight. Coming up on 13 June are the Cup Tournaments at the National Club at Tantallon, followed by the Bennett Pinehurst Tournament at International CC on 20 June.
