EWGA 2012 Championship Qualifier Results
Sponsored by Atlanta Classic Cars
The 2012 EWGA Championship Qualifier in Atlanta has come to an end. The competition was fierce but fun. We had a total of 41 players participate in the Qualifier in either stroke play or scramble. This is the first time where all flights of stroke play were fully represented. In addition, members of the Atlanta West & South Chapter and the Augusta Chapter participated.
The US Open has nothing on us when it comes to exciting finishes. Kate Sharp and Cat Mankawich were all tied up after 18 holes and so a sudden death playoff was ordered. As word of the playoff spread, a caravan of carts, competitors, and volunteers scrambled out to the par 5, 15th tee to cheer on Kate and Cat. Both players found the sand off the tee and had to fight hard to both be sitting on the green in 6. Cat was away and rolled her 20 foot putt within inches of the cup for a tap in 8 strokes. Then Kate stepped up to her 15 foot putt and knocked it into the middle of the cup for the win.
And now for all the results!

The Qualifier had five flights of competition for stroke players. Each player was assigned to a flight based upon her handicap. In each flight, there were four winners:
- First Low Gross (1st LG)
- Second Low Gross (2nd LG)
- First Low Net (1st LN)
- Second Low Net (2nd LN)
A golfer's net score is determined by subtracting the player's handicap from the gross score (the number of strokes actually taken). A golfer is eligible to win in only one category and cannot win low gross and low net.

In addition, we had four 2-Person Scramble Teams play on Qualifier Day. Val Blinn and Kris Klingseisen won first place and Nancy Bourne and Jodie Parker won 2nd Place.
EWGA invites each 1st place winner in the Qualifier to move up to play in the semi- finals. Congratulations to the 14 players from Atlanta moving forward to represent us in the Semi-Finals on July 14th at the Robert Trent Jones Course in Birmingham. We wish each woman the best of luck!
Thanks to Carol Garrett and the 12 volunteers assisting in the tournament. And a big thanks to Lori Ford and Karen Johnson, our championships coordinators, and Paula Locke with Atlanta Classic Cars for their tremendous sponsorship!
