The Jacksonville Chapter of the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) was chartered in 1995.  From the first meeting of 25 women, the Chapter has experienced steady growth and currently has nearly 200 members. Charter members who remain active today include Amy Hooe, Margaret Downey, Kathy Burns, Madeline Griego-Jorgensen, Pat King, and Mary Hafeman. The EWGA has international membership (United States, Canada, and France) numbering nearly 20,000 women golfers.

The Jacksonville Chapter provides an environment that encourages women to learn to play and enjoy the game of golf. The Chapter offers members numerous opportunities to learn the basics of the game through player development programs at local golf courses, mentoring for novice players, and rules seminars.  In recent years the Chapter has sponsored more than 80 events and activities annually for members and their guests. While many of these offerings are strictly golf-related (monthly tournaments, weekly leagues, Chapter Championships), there are also many opportunities for both business and social networking.  The Chapter has earned the coveted Chapter of Excellence Award several times over the years as recognition of the quality and variety of services provided to its members.

The annual EWGA Championship is the largest women’s amateur golf tournament in the United States and the only one that has flights designed for players of all skill levels.  Participants begin competition at the local Chapter Championship level. Winners advance to regional competition and from there to the Championship Finals.  Past Championship winners are Fran Kinney and Pat Rausch.  

The Jacksonville Chapter also proudly supports both local and national charities.  The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation have received support from the Chapter. In recent years, the Board has designated the local Donna Foundation as the primary recipient of its fund-raising efforts. Over the years the Chapter has raised many thousands of dollars to aid First Coast women suffering from this disease. 

The Jacksonville Chapter of the EWGA is a volunteer managed organization.  It is an excellent avenue for meeting new friends, entertaining clients and guests, and learning a game that one truly can play for a lifetime.  The EWGA provides a venue for women of all skill levels to get together to have fun.  The Jacksonville Chapter is where great friendships are made.
