WGO-18: Women’s 18 Hole Golf Organization

The Women’s 18-Hole Golf Organization (WGO-18) ladies are pleased to announce that they raised a total of $2,500 at its holiday fundraising effort to support the Washington D.C. and Prince George’s County Playtime Project. The charity brings transformative play experiences to shelters and community- based sites and offers resources to some of the most vulnerable children and families in the D.C. region. Way to go ladies! The WGO-18 ladies continue their tradition of Winter Golf, playing through sleet, rain and snow (and lots of sunshine) for fun and prizes in self-organized groups. A friendly competition of a Ringers-type tournament was the incentive for WGO-18 ladies to win prizes based on an aggregate of their ten best 9-hole scores over the winter. The 2024 season begins in April, and if you know of any fun and golf-loving ladies who would like to join please contact Membership Chair Ruth Daly at ruthadaly@verizon.net. Play Days are generally Tuesdays in Arlington and Fridays in Fairfax.
