WOMEN’S OKLAHOMA GOLF ASSOCIATION
Summer is here and golf is in full swing The WOGA tournament schedule began with the Stableford Championship at Lincoln Park and the Senior Championship held at Oakwood Country Club. The remaining championships are hosted by Cedar Ridge, Stillwater Country Club, Gaillardia, Shangri-La and Winter Creek. WOGA’s mission is to support, promote, and grow the game of golf for women and junior girls of Oklahoma. We accomplish this through these women’s championships, including the Junior Girls Championship and the Fundraiser Tournament benefiting scholarships and high school grants. WOGA’s 10th annual Fundraiser Tournament will be held on Monday, July 11 at Stillwater Country Club. The cost is $600 per four-person team and includes green fees, cart, range balls, breakfast and lunch. Registration is at 7:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The event is open to all men, women and juniors. A silent auction, featuring rounds of golf at some of Oklahoma’s premier golf courses and additional golf-related items, memorabilia, and a casino getaway, are also offered. Four hole-in-

Congratulations to this year's scholarship recipients: Grace Smith, Moriah Shropshire, Aubrey House and Baylee Wood.

OGA cont. from page 8 she played in, every WOGA event she played during the only high school year she played. She was like a video machine, line her up here and turn it on. In our event she was winning matches 7 and 6 and she would be 7-under through 12 or 13 holes against very good players. There were very good players like Shaebug Scarberry and Kaitlin Milligan who would have won a lot more junior events, but Jujeong was hard to beat. We want to thank Cedar Ridge Country Club for hosting the OGA Four-Ball this spring, and all their great players for domi-
nating the event, including champions Rob Laird and Tyler Hunt and the senior duo of Ken Kee and Mike Alsup. And we want to thank Lincoln Park, which stepped up to host our Junior Amateur while traditional site Kickingbird is closed for renovations. Lincoln Park turns 100 this summer, the first public course in the state to reach the century mark, and for that entire time has shown the way for what a public facility should be in every respect. When you talk about Grow The Game, places like Lincoln Park set a daily example of exactly how to do that.
