Golf education and player development touches the heart of the EWGA mission of providing opportunities for women to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf for business and life. Since the Association's inception, thousands of women have participated in EWGA golf education programs designed for golfers of all skill levels and delivered by golf teaching professionals who work closely with EWGA volunteer Chapter leaders.
