4 Wo men s Golf League We would like to encourage all of the Wahkonsa women to join the 2018 Wahkonsa Golf Course Ladies League. We all deserve to take some time out of our busy schedule for ourselves, and what better way to do that by playing a round of golf, visiting with old friends and making new ones. Our goal is to make league play as fun and stress free as possible. Dinner will be offered each week, with some specialty nights on the last Wednesday of the month. Ladies day and league play begins the first Wednesday in May and runs through the last Wednesday in August. We have added fun days, which will be the last Wednesday of the month, unless we need to use that date for a rain date. You do NOT have to be a Wahkonsa member to participate in the fun day, invite your friends. Women s League Format: Our league s format is team play using handicap. This format allows golfers of all capabilities to play and contribute. Women wishing to play must be 18 years of age or older to join league. Your league round may be played with whomever you wish, but your first 9 hold round on league day (Wednesday) must be counted as your league round. You may play prior to noon, though the 1 st tee is open to men until noon. We will allow part time designation for members who aren t sure how many days they can play because of your availability throughout the summer. You play with whomever you wish at the time that works best for you. Dues are only $10 and $3 for handicap. Fun Things : Just to keep things interesting, there are a number of fun things that members can participate in.

A special committee is currently working with the board to research ways to secure financial means to make the necessary pool improvements with the ultimate goal to re-open without making it a financial strain on Wahkonsa s other operating expenses.
