Congratulations to Indiana's 2009 team for finishing 14th at Sycamore Hills Golf Club September 1-3! Thanks to Julie Carmichael, Nina Whalen and Kristi Piepenbrink for representing their home state. USGA Site

 

Be a Part of It!

 

This is your chance to represent the Hoosier state on the national scene. The Indiana Women’s Golf Association sends a team to each USGA Women’s State Team held every two years. Any female Indiana amateurs, who are not collegiate athletes and possess an IGA-PGA handicap, have a chance to earn a spot on the team and participate in a national championship! This event is held in the fall of odd years, and team-member selections are based on the previous two seasons’ tournament points. Therefore, Indiana’s 2011 team will consist of the top three point earners from the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

Notice: Beginning in 2011, this Championship will be a walking event ONLY. No motorized carts will be available to competitors.

 

Points can be earned by playing in these tournaments:

            IWGA State Amateur

            IWGA Mid Amateur

            IWGA Senior Match Play

            IWGA Match Play

            IWGA Team

            PGA Indiana Women’s Open

            USGA Qualifiers for a national competition:

                        US Women’s Open

                        US Women’s Amateur

                        US Women’s Mid Amateur

                        US Women’s Senior Amateur

                        US Women’s Public Links

                       

 

Point-earnings are cut off at the completion of the IWGA Mid Amateur in the August before the Championship. At that time, eligible players who have earned the most points and a spot on the team will be contacted. The IWGA arranges and covers the cost of travel (mileage or airfare when relevant), hotel accommodations, a rental car for the team, and logoed uniform shirts. Dinners, welcome receptions and practice rounds occur the few days prior to the start of play. Details on the expenses and itinerary are available to the team members closer to the date of the championship.
