Women’s Western Golf Association

In 1920 the WWGA introduced the Junior Championship, a match-play event for girls 17 years of age and under. The Championship is now in its 85^th year, missing only a few years during WW II.

Emphasis is placed not only on skillful play but also on sportsmanship, friendship among players and enjoyment of the game under competitive competition.

Awarded to the Junior Champion, the Icely Cup was presented to the WWGA by the President of the Wilson Sporting Goods Company in the 1920’s. The trophy bears such names as Nancy Lopez and Candy Hannemann (3-time winners), Christie Kerr, JoAnne Gunderson Carner, Carol Ann Mann, Clifford Ann Creed, Mary Budke, Erin O’Neil, Candie Kung, Grace Park, and Perl Sinn to mention a few.

The Ann S. Upchurch Trophy awarded to the Junior Finalist was donated by Sandra Fullmer, WWGA President 2003-04. The trophy is in honor of Mrs. Upchurch who was a long-time Director of the WWGA and served as Rules Chairman for 21 years. She was a tireless promoter of junior golf.

The Marion Miley Bracelet trophy was created in 1941 and awarded to the low qualifier in the WWGA Amateur and WWGA Open. In 1967 the bracelet became the trophy for the low qualifier in the WWGA Amateur and Junior Championships.

Women’s Western Golf Foundation and Western Golf Association / Evans Scholars Foundation

In 2006, the Evans Scholars Foundation and the Women’s Western Golf Foundation announced a joint sponsorship of an Evans Scholarship that funds the tuition and housing of a woman caddie at one of the 14 Universities where the Evans Scholars Foundation owns and maintains a Scholarship House. Recipients of this scholarship will meet the criteria of both scholarship programs.

Each spring a Women’s Western Golf Foundation Evans Scholar is selected.

WWGF

The Women’s Western Golf Foundation, an outgrowth of the Women’s Western Golf Association, was formed in 1971 to receive and distribute funds to advance women in scholastic achievement and collegiate golf programs. The WWGF accomplishes this by granting academic undergraduate scholarships to worthy and deserving women students who also have as involvement in the sport of golf, and by providing financial assistance to inadequately funded women’s collegiate golf programs.

The Foundation has granted in excess of $3.4 million to more than 490 scholars representing 45 states and over two dozen collegiate Women’s Golf Programs. Its primary source of income are contributions from the WWGA and its Directors, golf clubs and groups participating in the WWGA Annual Scholarship Day Event, golf associations, and individual friends of golf benefactors.
