WGA League play ended April 29 for the 2025-26 season. This year, 332 women enjoyed a variety of new and different games in addition to the regular games (best ball, match play, modified scramble). Some games were well received – a few not so much. Lesson learned for next season! But overall, members enjoyed playing a different game each week.
The first ever WGA March “Pick a Partner” event was a great success, not only for the winning teams, but for all attendees. Tournament Directors Mary Previte and Assistant Susan Fraser put together a wide variety of raffles for a “table draw” and “shopper’s choice” prizes. WGA cutting boards, ball retrievers, mystery gift cards, tote bags, golf balls, and umbrellas were just a few of the prizes people walked away with. From member feedback, it looks like the “Pick a Partner” format will be making a second appearance for the 2026-27 season!
The year-end closing reception was held April 7, with league awards presented and the installation of the 2026-27 officers. Many thanks to departing Board members Mary Previte, Tournament Director; Kathy Blagoue, Treasurer; and Barbara Haberer, Handicap Director. It was such a joy and honor to work with each of them as we engaged and encouraged all members to learn more about the WGA.
Special thanks to Annie Kajander who chaired the mentorship committee for the past few years, reaching out to and matching new members with WGA mentors.
As I am preparing to return to Kennett Square, PA it’s hard NOT to reflect on how fortunate I feel to be part of the WGA in a beautiful community like ours. Not only do we have two challenging golf courses, but a highly qualified Pro Shop staff, led by Bob Kelly, a very talented professional golf instructor, Christine Bonham (yes, I did take lessons this year, and yes, it did change my game!), a wide variety of first-class amenities, and beautiful sunshine as the icing on the cake!
My sincere thanks to the WGA Board, WGA members and volunteers, the HP community and staff who facilitated such a great 2025-26 season!
Happy golfing all. See you in October!
