WSCGA Newsletter - March Edition

Good morning and we hope you are looking forward to spring that is just around the corner. We have a quiet a lot happening over the next few months. For the most up to date schedule please go HERE.

Event opening PSA: Events open at 9 am Monday 6 weeks before the event (Tuesday if that Monday is a holiday). Some of our high-demand events fill up in less than 5 minutes. Each member of a team must already have a WSCGA profile when registering a team. If not, their profile will not populate when registering and your team will be at risk of being shut out for that event.

We look forward to seeing you at an event this spring.

Keep smiling,

The WSCGA Team

WSCGA Hole of the Month

Cobblestone Park Golf Club: Hole 11 (Black 2)

The Club's signature hole is a picturesque downhill par three to a green surrounded by water on three sides. A slightly downhill mid to short iron shot to a large green can leave you with a good opportunity for birdie. Any tee shot that is not well struck can spell disaster. The bail-out is on the right side where the biggest area of green is located. Just make sure you avoid the bunkers and oak tree!

Above: A look at the hole from behind the green opposite of the teeing areas.

Cobblestone Park Golf Club Website

This signature hole is played in the South Carolina Women's Open every year and is one of the many swing holes on Championship's back 9. The South Carolina Women's Open will be again be at Cobblestone Park Aug 30 - Sept 1.
