MILL CREEK WOMEN’S DIVISION WINS THE WSWGA ELIZABETH DWAN MEMORIAL TROPHY Mill Creek Country Club Women’s Division has belonged to the Washington State Women’s Golf Association since the Women’s Division was formed at Mill Creek Country Club. We are one of 35 private clubs in the state of Washington that belong to the WSWGA, which was established in 1922. The mission of the WSWGA is to promote the game of golf, competition, and camaraderie for women of all skill levels, who are members of recognized clubs within the WSWGA. Elizabeth Dwan was one of the original organizers of the Seattle Women’s Golf Association and its first president in 1927 as a charter member of Rainier Golf and Country Club. She was president of the WSWGA in 1932, and the first women from the northwest to become a vice-president of the Women’s Western Golf Association. She devoted over two decades of volunteer service for the betterment of competitive women’s golf. Each May the WSWGA recognizes Elizabeth Dwan with a home course event named in her honor and the Winning Club receives the Elizabeth Dwan Memorial Perpetual Trophy... retained for one year by the winning club. The competition is played using current course handicaps based on the course ratings, the players are divided into three divisions and the two lowest net scores for each division are listed and the course rating is then subtracted from each net score and those differences are then added together. The club having the lowest total will be the winner. This year on May 7, 2013 MCCC submitted the following players who gave us a total score of minus 20.6. The next club came in with a minus 12.4. We had six players from Mill Creek who played great golf that day and they are: FIRST DIVISION (0-20) SECOND DIVISION (21-30) THIRD DIVISION (31-40) 1st Jung Ohm, net 68 1st Kathy Fuller, net 66 1st Carol Dema, net 67 2nd Kelly Ohm, net 69 2nd Bonnie Martin, net 67 2nd Tasha Peterson, net 71 The Elizabeth Dwan Memorial Perpetual Trophy is in our trophy display cabinet. This is the first time that the Mill Creek Women’s Division has won this award so take a look at it the next time you pass by. It will be on display until October 2014 unless [until] we win it again.

This year our charity event features Cocoon House, a Snohomish County resource serving homeless and at-risk youth in our community. And of course, we have our regular tournaments...Captain’s Cup, Best Ball, Seniors, Fall Creeker, and Club Championship. We work hard and play hard, but we also have social events that are just plain fun! Our committees are already planning these major events and tournaments.
