The History of GVWGA

The Genesee Valley Women's Golf Association , the oldest women's golf tournament league in the Greater Metro Rochester, is in Upstate New York.

Founding Members

It was not common for Women to play golf in the 1930s, but a strong group of women founded our organization. Today some of their daughters and granddaughters are among the members who participate in this league, promoting good fellowship, good sportsmanship, and friendly competition.

Golf Events

The GVWGA holds approximately eighteen tournaments for its members at various golf clubs in and around Monroe County. Refer to the Calendar on the Main menu at the top of every page.

Membership

There are two types of Membership: Full Membership and Associate Membership.
