Local ladies' golf news

The Blue Ridge Women’s Golf Association (BRWGA) is comprised of women from the ladies leagues of eleven golf clubs in the surrounding Asheville area. They are Black Mountain, Connestee Falls, Crooked Creek, Etowah Valley, Glen Cannon, High Vista, Laurel Ridge, Maggie Valley, Reems Creek, Rumbling Bald and Wolf Laurel. Ladies that participate in these monthly tournaments must be members of a ladies league at a club that is a member of the BRWGA and have an established USGA Handicap Index of 29.9 or less. The object of the Association is to organize, promote, and encourage participation in golfing activities for women.

Etowah Country Club hosted the Blue Ridge Women’s Golf Association Tournament on July 14.

Locally, Frieda Cooper from Reems Creek finished in a tie for lowest gross in Flight #4 with a 98.

The club offers three nine-hole courses. The tournament was played on the North and South courses.
