WDCGA: Women’s District of Columbia Golf Association
The Women’s District of Columbia Golf Association is in full swing for the 2025 season. On April 26, the Icebreaker, traditionally held at Argyle CC was rained out. In the 2-day Keefer Cup held at Belmont Country Club May7-8, Shelley Savage placed 3rd Net. The Keefer, traditionally held at Chevy Chase offers gross stroke play competition to players with an index of 14.5 or less. On May 9, golfers battled less than perfect weather and conditions to compete in the Houlahan cup at MT Vernon CC. ANCC was well-represented in the tournament and on the leaderboard. Tina Gwilliam placed 2nd overall gross. In the 2nd flight Danielle Hetzler and Didi Summers placed 1st and 2nd respectively. Amy Hawkins lead the 3rd flight with Margaret Ann Connors placing second. Former MVCC member Karen Marcotte tied for 3rd overall, but took home 1st place in the 4th flight. In the 5th and 6th flights respectively, Jaehwa Kim and Bev Winston grabbed both second place slots. Team matchplay will be wrapped up by 27 May. Unfortunately, the ANCC teams have struggled a little this year. Registration has opened for the June Cups which will be held at Montgomery CC on June 17. With the exception of the Class A Cup which is open to players with an index of 12.4 and below, players generally compete against players with and index spread of about 4 strokes. Both gross and net prizes are awarded. Registration opens May 27 for the Bennett Pinehurst 2 Lady event at International Country club on June 24th. This is a very popular event which “sells out” early, so sign up ASAP. For more information, review our website at WDCGA.org or contact me for questions. Membership ($75) starts in November of each year; however, there are 20 tournaments still on the schedule.
