ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP COSTS 
            WMSGA club membership = $50
            WMSGA individual membership =  $30

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.
• The green fees ( user fee) for a WMSGA tournament is $15.
• The tournament entry fee is $8.The metropolitan and state championship tournaments require that prize money is spent at the host club.
• For regular weekly tournaments, winners will receive vouchers good only at WMSGA member clubs.
• Tournament setup and scoring will be done by the WMSGA.

COURSE RATING
All courses that are members of WMSGA must be rated. A course must be at least 3,000 yards in length (for 18 holes) in order to be rated. 
NOTE: Representatives, please indicate on the application form whether your course needs to be rated or re-rated. 

A PLEDGE
Committed to promoting interest in the game of golf for all women, the WMSGA also has a special interest in supporting junior golf for girls in Maine.

The WMSGA supports the MSGA Scholarship Fund and the Maine Golf Hall of Fame.
