Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – Nearly 300 players and dozens of friends, family and volunteers descended upon the Reunion Resort in Orlando for the EWGA Cup Finals on November 13 and 14. The EWGA Cup brings together teams of eight women who compete in Four Ball and Singles Match Play at one of eight regional qualifiers throughout the country to earn their team spot on the Finals roster.
This year’s EWGA Cup Finals included 296 women from across the U.S and Canada competing on both the Palmer and Watson courses at the Reunion Resort. The Green Gang, one of three teams from Portland, OR emerged the winner with Match Sticks from Washington DC Metro placing second and the St Louis Arch Rivals taking third.
” The Reunion Resort was an excellent venue to hold our 2015 Cup Finals,” said Pam Swensen, EWGA CEO. ” Teams came in early to practice, enjoy the Florida sunshine and resort amenities. Reunion reported setting a resort record for number of rounds played on Thursday as teams prepared for the two day competition. Is there any doubt, we take fun seriously! ”
Now in its fifth year, the EWGA Cup is one of three national golf competitions run by the Executive Women’s Golf Association. The format mirrors what people see in professional golf with the popular Ryder Cup, President’s Cup and Solheim Cup. The event encourages women of all skill levels to compete, promoting friendly, fun competitive play among its membership.
It’s an experience that has caught on within the EWGA golf community of women as a top notch, action-packed golf event -with competition and a ton of attitude! It is all about team camaraderie, colorful coordinated outfits and the quest to win The Cup and an invitation to next year’s Finals.
The creative team names reflect the spirit of this unique competition. Crazy Boston Drivers, Grip It & Sip It, Long Island Iced Tees , GHIN & ToniKC , Palm Beach Pinseekers, Upstate Iron Ladies and the Rochester Rochachas are just a few. For complete results, see www.ewgacup.com
