Membership for our 20th Anniversary Year-2014 is open.

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Wendy Ossman

Membership stays open through the year-never closing. Feel free to send in your application anytime!

Why Join OSWGA?

  •  The  $50 membership dues entitles you to pay member fees for  tournaments-usually a $10-$15 savings per tournament.
  •  OSWGA members are afforded the opportunity to play golf at some of the finest venues at reasonable prices including lunch and cart! In the event of a limited field for any tournament,  members  would get the spot before non-members.
  • Membership entitles you to a seat at the Annual Banquet for no additional cost.  That evening,  you’ll enjoy seeing friends and enjoy a delicious dinner & dessert.
  •  Members meet other women golfers and make lifelong friends.
  • $5 of every member’s dues goes directly into the Scholarship Fund!

Membership Application

A reminder that Junior Membership is free and junior members pay 1/2 price for tournaments. Why not hand the bottom of your application to a junior at your club?

Please note that handbooks will not be mailed to Florida addresses. Please use a local address.

OSWGA statement on recent RIGA email message………..

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Wendy Ossman

Dear OSWGA Members,

Most of you have by now received an email from RIGA. To clear up any question as to whether OSWGA is involved with this email, no. The OSWGA is still up and running and has not merged with RIGA.

We assure you our member email list is and remains confidential. When you sign into GHIN for the first time of each season, it asks you for your email address.  We believe this is how RIGA has access to RI golfers and their emails and why we all got their message.  If you wish to stop future mailings from RIGA, click the link at the bottom of the message that looks like this. Click Here to Stop future Mailings

See you at Lake of Isles-South Course(Private) on April 7th!

Any questions, feel free to contact the  OSWGA Board. click here
