Casual Golf Days allow members and friends to participate in
WPGA organized non-competitive golf events. We wish to
introduce the Association to more golfers, who may not play
in the WPGA’s championship program. These days are a chance
for golfers of various skills to have a good time with
friends at a WPGA Member Club that they may not normally get
the chance to play.
Events are open to all golfers, both men and women,
regardless of skill level, who want to play golf for fun at
a reasonable rate. No Handicap Indexes are required.
Registration begins on June 01, 2009. Entry fees for these
events are $70.00, and this includes golf, cart fees, range
balls, and a sleeve of golf balls.
Cancellation/refunds may be done by calling the WPGA office
(412-826-2180) or e-mailing Executive Director
Jeff
Rivard. Refunds will be minus a $10 processing
fee.
