Happy 2026! Here’s hoping everyone had a healthy and enjoyable holiday season!
The WGA has a fun upcoming season starting with two events in January. January 14is our luncheon and membership meeting following a shotgun start. It’s the second week of eclectic play (for those who played eclectic on January 7) and a new “crisscross game” for those not playing in the eclectic game.
Monday, January 26 is our evening social event with special food and activities for our Mardi Gras celebration! You can sign up as a group or individually beginning January 12.
Our annual charity event will be held February 18 and benefits the Dubin Center. The center was established in 1995 to provide assistance to families of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia related diseases. In 2024, the Dubin Center team provided services across multiple locations—including faith-based sites, senior centers, community centers, low-income senior housing and public libraries. Through 2,990 interactions, they supported 630 individuals with a wide range of programs, from support groups and caregiver education to social engagement activities, one-on-one consultations, and memory screenings. The social isolation, for both patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia related illnesses, and their caregivers is a very real challenge. The Dubin Center is the place where: “No one faces dementia alone.” (239-437-3007; http://www.DubinCenter.com).
We’re incredibly grateful to our residents for your generous support, not only of the WGA, but to the other leagues and charitable organizations within HP. Since our first charity event in 2006, the WGA has donated $301,909 to local charities, including, Pace, Lee Health, Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, Gabriel House, Our Mother’s Home of SWFL, and LIGHT – Long term treatment through the gift of Hope and Treatment. Many, many thanks to our WGA volunteers and our entire community who made these impactful donations happen! We’re proud to represent not only the WGA but our HP community in making these donations.
If you’d like to make a donation to this year’s charity event, checks should be made out to the Dubin Center and can be dropped off at the pro-shop. Hole sponsorship forms will also be available from the pro-shop and on the WGA website.
Happy golfing all!
