The Board is proud to formally announce our new INTERCLUB RYDER CUP WEEKEND!
The first weekend of June (1st – 3rd) will feature our Inaugural match with FAIRVIEW FARMS in Harwinton. It will start Friday night with a LIVE Pairings Party at Fairview Farms, and possibly a practice round preceding for any interested parties. The matches will be Saturday at Wintonbury and Sunday at Fairview. This promises to be great event! There will be future communication for this event on when to sign up and the schedule of events.
Some additional changes:
- To qualify for the Club Championships, you will need to have competed in 3 events with the WMGA prior to the Club Championships. (2-day events are considered as 1 WMGA Event)
