Additionally, it has always honored exceptional golf at all levels of play. This year, as in the past, the Board has worked hard to plan events for your enjoyment and for the opportunity to compete individually and as teams in an equitable manner. The clubs have again graciously agreed to open their courses and host our tournaments. In order to offer women who are unable to play during the week a chance to compete, we have added a Saturday event which will be hosted by Shaker Heights Country Club in June. We will try to make the District Championship at Lakewood this year as perfect an event as it was last year. Your participation in our tournaments and events is important to us. We ask for your continued support this year. We recognize that in today’s busy world, commitment is growing increasingly more difficult. Times are changing. Golf is changing. We need to keep CWGA relevant and current while still holding to our standards and traditions. I look forward to seeing all of you at the opening and closing meetings and playing with many of you this summer. Heartfelt thanks to my wonderful and capable Board for their hard work. Thank you to the hosting clubs and their professional staff for all that they do to make us welcome and to make the tournaments run smoothly. I am honored to represent CWGA as President, and hope that it is a wonderful, fun and challenging golf year for all of us. As Jack Nicklaus wrote, “Golf is the greatest game of all...Name another sport that provides companionship and sociability as much as it does competitive endeavor and excitement…Or one so eternally imperfectable and, thus so forever challenging.” Come out to play and join the challenge, Sally Conley 4 2018 CWGA EXECUTIVE BOARD Front row: Linda Neitzel (E), Sally Conley (K), Kathy Ader (CH), Celine Krashin (B) Second Row: Nina Clayman (LF), Judi Greenberger (B), Karen Crane (BA), Brenda Reynolds (AO), Leigh Brattain (L), Jean Rathbone (MSR), Bonnie Abbey (S) Not Pictured: Barb Cunliffe (CV), Maureen Adler (W), Susan McCormick (C), Suzanne Dick (CC) 5 Cleveland Women’s Golf Association Executive Board 2017-2018 President Sally Conley [email protected] Kirtland 15785 Hemlock Rd., Chagrin Falls 44022 cell 440-247-1822 Vice-President Susan McCormick [email protected] Canterbury 22561 Byron Rd., Shaker Hts. 44122 cell 216-533-1470 Secretary/Team Mgr.
