Message from our President

As President of WWGA, it is my honor on behalf of the Board of Directors to welcome you to the WWGA’s website.

We hope you will explore the information provided about our great Association including our history, Women’s Western Junior and Amateur Championships, and past tournament results. Also, please explore the information on the Women’s Western Golf Foundation

The Women’s Western boasts a proud tradition of attracting the finest amateurs in women’s golf, both nationally and internationally. These women represent all that is great in our sport. Many of these players have gone on to succeed in the LPGA as well. 

Our two 2024 national championships are just a few months away. The 97th Women’s Western Junior Championship will be played in June at Hinsdale Golf Club (Western Suburb of Chicago, Illinois). Onwentsia Club (in Lake Forest, Illinois along Chicago’s North Shore) will host the 124th Women’s Western Amateur Championship this July.

Our board is extremely grateful to the clubs who host our championships each year. They, along with the many supporters of WWGA, allow us to provide quality playing opportunities and recognition for the best amateurs in women’s golf. 

We look forward to continuing to build on this legacy in the coming years. 

Please feel free to contact me with questions.

Sincerely, Susan Buchanan
