While signing up for a pair of NY state golf association qualifiers, I stumbled onto a link to the Buffalo Women’s Golf Club<\/a>. Not having any experience with this organization, I contacted Paulette Wright, current club president, for a few answers to questions about the group. Ms. Wright was most helpful and, together with Cynthia Schlabach and\u00a0Nancy Stone, both past Presidents, gave the following answers.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 In four sentences, describe the Buffalo Women’s Golf Club’s <\/a>reason for existence.<\/p>\n

We are a noncompetitive club with the goal of promoting the game of golf to all women in the Buffalo area. \u00a0\u00a0However, we do encourage all our members to register their scores and establish a handicap.\u00a0 Women of all skill levels are welcome. We provide an opportunity for working women to meet and play with others of similar interest in the game of golf on a regular basis. <\/em><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Who may join the BWGC?<\/p>\n

BWGC welcomes any woman who is interested in playing in a league at any of the courses we offer.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All that we ask is the golfer be knowledgeable of and be prepared to play \u201cready golf\u201d.\u00a0 Benefits of this golf club are the social aspects available.\u00a0 If you love the game of golf and want to make a commitment to play on a weekly basis \u2013 we encourage you to join our club!<\/em><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Does the BWGC have an organizational structure?<\/p>\n

Yes, we have a full slate of officers and board of directors which include our past presidents. \u00a0\u00a0There are established by-laws and ample opportunity for anyone to be involved in the club administration.\u00a0 \u00a0We have several committees which plan and execute our opening banquet, annual tournaments, travel tournaments, closing banquet, and annual socials.<\/em><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 What sort of competitive events will the BWGC host?<\/p>\n

We offer two travel tournaments, one spring travel and one fall travel event, each of which consists of 2 days of 18 holes golf and an overnight stay.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This year\u2019s destinations are Erie, PA in May and Rochester, NY in August.\u00a0 \u00a0We are hosting, for the first time this year, a charity event on July 29 at Arrowhead Golf Club to benefit Cornerstone Manor, a women\u2019s shelter run by Buffalo City Mission. \u00a0\u00a0This event will be open to men and women. <\/em><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 What sort of fun events with the BWGC host? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0One of the benefits of the BWGC is the social interaction provided.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We host member only and member\/guest tournaments on our home courses throughout the year. \u00a0\u00a0We host some winter socials with a golf theme at the local golf domes in Buffalo.<\/em><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Will the BWGC work to promote golf among girls in western New York?<\/p>\n

Yes, as I said earlier we are noncompetitive and are always working to promote the game of golf among working and nonworking women. \u00a0An educational aspect is the mentoring by our experienced members. <\/em><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 What are the other benefits to joining the BWGC?<\/p>\n

Members have the opportunity to meet women who have the same interest in the game as you do and experience play on several different golf courses throughout the season. \u00a0We offer league play weekly on the following courses:\u00a0 Arrowhead, Diamond Hawk, Ivy Ridge, and South Shore. \u00a0\u00a0As mentioned earlier, we are a non-competitive league.\u00a0 This aspect makes it possible for various skill levers to feel comfortable and enjoy the game.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most of our women feel that the commitment they make in joining our club motivates them to get out there and play on a regular basis \u2013 which improves their skills. We afford women the opportunity to play several times a week and on all of our courses as they have the opportunity to substitute for anyone who cannot make their regular tee time for that week.<\/em>
\n8.\u00a0 Talk about the club website on NYSGA…<\/p>\n

As a GHIN member, BWGC is provided a free website to communicate with our members.\u00a0 The website offers an area to post golf scores to GHIN, a NEWS area which we are able to create notices of events and post important information, a CALENDAR to track events, PHOTO gallery to post pictures and a MEMBER\u2019s directory.\u00a0 To be able to reach some areas, you must be a member, which provides privacy.<\/em><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 How does affiliation with NYSGA help the BWGC, beyond the website?<\/p>\n

BWGC is organized as a non-real-estate golf club.\u00a0\u00a0 Our club offers a GHIN handicap for our members.\u00a0 By our affiliation, we maintain a handicap chair and a handicap committee.\u00a0 The club also offers NYSGA rules of golf booklets and frequently provides refreshers on the most used\/needed rules to members.<\/em><\/p>\n

10. What can you tell us about the history of BWGC?<\/em><\/p>\n

BWGC was formed 2007 when we broke our affiliation with EWGA \u2013 Executive Women Golf Association, Buffalo Chapter.\u00a0 The EWGA chapter was in existence from the early 1990s.\u00a0 Michelle Tronconi is the member who has had the longest longevity.\u00a0 I joined in 1998 and I think I\u2019m the second longest.\u00a0 We left EWGA because as a local group, we felt we could better serve our membership and cater to the local demographic golf needs.\u00a0 EWGA forced us into national programs that were not applicable to our members needs or wants.\u00a0 After leaving EWGA, our club grew from average 40 members to our current 100-125+ membership.<\/em><\/p>\n

BWGC is accepting New Members on all of our courses at this time:\u00a0 Arrowhead, Ivy Ridge, Diamond Hawk, and South Shore.
