Women's Golf

The women of Watermark do not have a league with preset teams and matches. They do however have weekly golf from early May into early September. The women have week to week sign up sheets posted in the ladies locker room with each week being a separate event with the opportunity to play with different people each week if you choose. Wednesday mornings there is a group of women who play 18 holes and generally are paired in threesomes. They do put in a small entry fee each week of about $3.00 and prizes are awarded to the teams who score the best in that week's event. Wednesday evening there is a group that plays 9 holes and they are also generally paired into groups of three. The first half of the season this group plays similar events that the 18 hole group does. In the second half of their season they use a Stableford scoring system to accumulate points per hole on an individual basis. They also pay a small entry fee of about $3.00 and part goes to the week to week winners and part goes to those who accumulate the most points over the entire second half.

Women of all ages and ability levels play in both of these groups. For the most part, the women who play 18 holes are golfers who have played the game for several years but players of all abilities do play in this group. The 9 hole group has a wide range of age and ability levels as well. While competition does exist within this group and there are several lower handicap players who participate, this group tends to be more "socially" interested in golf then "competition" oriented. Players from both groups generally gather after their round for lunch / dinner.

The women golfers of Watermark cover a huge range of playing ability and their golf association committee has worked extremely hard to encourage women to get involved in some way. Whether it is to improve their games or just have some "time away" from busy lives for social interaction, getting together as a group a weekly basis is a great way to accomplish both.
