A Monthly Dispatch from GCWGA
August 2026
Dearest Ladies of GCWGA,
It has been said that summer golf has a curious way of making time stand still. Before we know it, July has slipped quietly into memory, leaving behind well-worn scorecards, polished trophies, and enough stories to carry us through the winter months ahead.
One thing, however, is certain…
The ladies of GCWGA have been very busy.
🏆 The Low Kent
The Low Kent Tournament once again delivered everything we have come to love about summer golf—friendly competition, wonderful teamwork, and enough memorable shots to keep the clubhouse conversations lively for weeks to come.
Congratulations to our Gross Champions:
🥇 Allison Mayborg • Emily Stallo • Holly Jones • Allison Gonring
Followed closely by:
🥈 Eve Wanders • Emily Soller • Pat Dunn • Kathy Brockman
🥉 Un Ae Mueller • Denise Wareham • Diane Bizzarri • Jeri Vickers
Our congratulations also go to our outstanding Net Champions:
🏆 Carolyn Miedel • Connie Hillard • Sheela Bhaskar • Jenny Haralamos
🥈 Karen Budde • Amy Lambrinides • Linda Ratterman • Kelly Jennings
🥉 Anne Rich • Lisa Consolino • Chloe Williams • Katie Blackburn
One cannot help but admire the remarkable teamwork displayed throughout the day. It seems encouragement may be every bit as valuable as a perfectly struck approach shot.
🏆 The Crystal Bowl
If ever there were proof that golf is better shared, the Crystal Bowl provided it once again.
Congratulations to our Championship Flight Gross Champions, Sheela Bhaskar and Carolyn Miedel, whose even-par performance earned top honors.
Applause also goes to Allison Mayborg and Erin Pille, winners of the Championship Flight Net, along with Valarie Barth and Elizabeth Devine, First Flight Gross Champions, and Eve Enders and Connie Seeskin, First Flight Net Champions.
Partnership golf has a wonderful way of reminding us that the very best rounds are built on trust, encouragement…and occasionally someone making the putt after we’ve confidently assured them, “You’ve got this.”
🍷 Nine, Wine & Dine
Now, dear readers, if there is an event that perfectly captures the heart of GCWGA, surely it is Nine, Wine & Dine.
Nine holes. Wonderful friends. A sip of Wine. A lovely meal. And just enough friendly competition to keep everyone honest.
Congratulations to our champions:
🥇 Gross Champions
🏆 1st Place Gross
Emily Soller • Meredith Ducey • Elizabeth Wanders • Janice Kunkemoeller
🥈 2nd Place Gross
Megan Candee • Kelsey Black • Kayla Reardon • Jane Kim
🌟 Net Champions
🏆 1st Place Net
Denise Oppedisano • Susan Route • Sally Cuni • Margo Ross
🥈 2nd Place Net
Pat Dunn • Nancy Decenso • Karen Taylor • Meg Collier
Congratulations to all of our winners and to everyone who joined us for another delightful evening. Nine, Wine & Dine continues to remind us that while golf may bring us together, it is the laughter around the dinner table that keeps us coming back.
One suspects the conversations over dinner were every bit as spirited as the competition on the course—and if a few miraculous putts became even longer in the retelling, this correspondent sees no reason to object.
🌸 Looking Ahead
Just when one thinks the calendar could not possibly offer another wonderful day of golf…
The High Kent Tournament arrives on August 20th.
We wish every competitor steady nerves, confident swings, and just enough good fortune to find the center of the fairway.
⛳ Golf Pro Tip of the Month
Current LPGA star Lydia Ko offers a simple reminder:
“I try to focus on what I can control and not get too caught up in everything else.”
The Lady’s Advice…
Play the shot in front of you.
Not the one behind you.
Not the one waiting on the next hole.
Golf has a wonderful habit of rewarding those who stay present.
📖 Rule of the Month
Don’t Like the Sand? You Have Options.
Should your golf ball decide that the bunker is a perfectly acceptable place to spend the afternoon, remember—you have choices.
If your ball is unplayable in a bunker, the Rules of Golf permit you to take relief outside the bunker for two penalty strokes, provided you keep the original spot between the hole and where you drop.
There is no shame in choosing wisdom over heroics.
🌼 Did You Know, Dear Reader?
Only 13 pioneering women founded the LPGA in 1950.
Their vision transformed the game and created opportunities for generations of women golfers—including every one of us fortunate enough to enjoy this wonderful sport today.
Quite an extraordinary legacy…begun by just thirteen ladies.
Until our paths cross again upon the fairways…
May your drives be long, your putts be true, and your friendships grow stronger with every round.
Yours in golf and your happy place,
The Lady of the Links
⛳Golf Pro Tip of the Month
From Nelly Korda
“Stick to your routine. Your pre-shot routine helps keep your mind quiet and your body committed.”
Insight…
Tournament season has a way of speeding everything up. Before every shot, take one deep breath, visualize the shot you want to hit, and trust the routine you’ve practiced. Consistency begins before the club ever moves.
⛳ DID YOU KNOW, DEAR GOLFERS?
GCWGA’s Foundation has helped hundreds of young women pursue higher education through scholarships since 2008!
Every SHE tournament played helps continue that remarkable legacy.

🌼 Rule of the Month
Don’t Like Sand? You Have Options!
We’ve all been there—that moment when your golf ball settles comfortably into a bunker while you wonder why it couldn’t have chosen the grass instead.
If you’re playing under the Rules of Golf, you have several options if you don’t want to (or can’t) play the ball from the bunker:
- Play the ball as it lies. (No penalty.)
- Take stroke-and-distance relief. Return to where you played your previous shot and play again, adding one penalty stroke.
- If the ball is unplayable in the bunker, declare it unplayable under Rule 19:
- Go back to where the previous shot was played (1 penalty stroke).
- Drop within two club-lengths of the ball, still in the bunker (1 penalty stroke).
- Drop back on a line from the hole, still in the bunker (1 penalty stroke).
- Or, for two penalty strokes, you may drop outside the bunker, keeping the spot where the ball lay directly between the hole and where you drop.
That last option was added in the modern Rules and many golfers don’t realize it exists.
