WSCGA Board Members & Staff

The WSCGA Board of Governors is composed of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about advancing women's golf throughout South Carolina.

Our Board members bring diverse perspectives and expertise from clubs across the state, working collaboratively with our professional staff to organize competitive tournaments, support junior golf development, and provide valuable member services including handicap management and educational programs.

Through their leadership and commitment, the Board ensures that the WSCGA continues to uphold the highest standards of the game while fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for women golfers of all skill levels.



To achieve our goals and grow women's golf, the WSCGA needs committed volunteer Board members to support and oversee the activities of our talented, dedicated staff. Please contact us below if you are interested in learning more about Board positions.
