CLUB REPRESENTATIVES
Each member club will appoint a club representative to act as the liaison between the WMSGA and the club's members. Ideally, the rep will be a member of the WMSGA. However, if it's not possible for a club to find a such a rep, a club owner or manager may act as club representative.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS
All women -- and girls -- who belong to a WMSGA member club and who have established USGA handicaps may apply for membership and play in weekly tournaments, including special tournaments for which they meet eligibility requirements.

TOURNAMENTS
Each member club (unless dropped for the year) will be expected to host one tournament a season. The WMSGA tournament schedule will be determined by the tournament co-chairs and officers and approved by the WMSGA executive board.
- The host course will work in conjunction with the WMSGA tournament chair and administrative assistant to organize and conduct the tournament.
- All 18-hole courses of championship caliber will be expected -- but not obligated -- to host the State Championship on a rotational basis. The course that holds the championship will earn the privilege of hosting the Metropolitan within two years.
- When it's not possible to place two people in a cart, the host course will charge no more than one-half cart fee per person. In return, the WMSGA will reimburse the host course for cart cancellations made after 6 pm on the Sunday preceding the Tuesday tournament.
