Elizabeth Dwan Memorial Trophy

TEAM TOURNAMENT - ELIZABETH DWAN MEMORIAL TROPHY: This competition shall be played in May using course handicaps from the day of play based on the tees utilized by each participant. This is a team competition. All players having the six lowest net scores shall be listed on the competition workbook page. The course par is then subtracted from each net score giving each player a score relative to par (e.g., plus 3, minus 5, etc.) Those scores are then added together, and the club having the lowest score to par will be the winner. The results shall be completed in the Elizabeth Dwan worksheet (available on the WSWGA website) and submitted not later than ten days from the date of play. In the event of a tie, all players shall be awarded prizes. A perpetual trophy shall be retained for one year by the winning club, and individual prizes shall be awarded to the winning players.
