A two year points system will be used for selecting members of the Maryland State Golf Association Women’s Division Team to represent our state at the 2015 USGA State Team Championship.  For the purpose of team selection, the two year period shall be defined as January 1, 2014 through August 1, 2015. The MSGA-WD Team for the 2015 USGA State Team Championship will consist of the two (2) eligible players accumulating the most points and one (1) captain’s choice player. If either of the first two eligible players cannot attend the 2015 USGA State Team Championship then the next candidate in line with most accumulating points will be invited to participate. Points earned in the calendar year of the USGA State Team Championship will receive a 50% bonus so that the MSGA-WD may weight outstanding play in the months preceding the Championship.  Tournaments from which points may be accumulated are listed below.
