OUR HISTORY

The CWDGA was formed in 1992 by Karen Munse Sennett, Patty Moore and Terrie Foote. Their mission was to establish an association unlike any in the Charlotte area that would allow women golfers with handicaps 19 and under to compete in tournaments using only gross scores. The tournaments would be flighted to allow like handicaps to compete against each other. The constitution and by-laws were modeled after similar organizations in other parts of the country. Originally the CWDGA held 5 tournaments but subsequently was expanded to 6 tournaments plus a 2-day stroke play championship and a season long match play competition. The handicap requirement was changed to 17.9 index sometime after formation of the league to reflect today's handicapping system.
