The Maryland State Golf Association – Women’s Division (MSGA-WD) 20th Anniversary luncheon was held on Friday, November 6th at Rolling Road Golf Club. The first meeting and luncheon of the MSGA-WD was held November 13, 1995 at Rolling Road, so it seemed fitting to return for this special celebration. The eighty-five attendees included some of the original board members — Pat Kaufman, Rose Marie Vargo, Jane Mason and Joan Winchester. Each went on to serve as President of the Maryland State Golf Association-Women’s Division. Four other Past Presidents were also in attendance (Marilyn Snight, Diane Herndon, Emily DiCicco, and Stasia Collins) along with many past committee members, club delegates, champions, and long-time tournament golfers. Two very important people to the MSGA-WD (Randy Reed and Ann Bergquist) were not able to attend, but were remembered for their significant contributions.
A great power point presentation, developed by Rebecca Krimski, ran throughout the afternoon. It covered the history and personnel involved in the MSGA-WD throughout the last 20 years. Pat Kaufman, the first President of the MSGA-WD, shared with us some of her special memories.
As part of the agenda, President Melly Tucker thanked Judi Hans for her eight years of service to the MSGA-WD. Judi had devoted her time to working tirelessly and successfully with the Junior Girls Program. She was presented with a gift in appreciation for her commitment.
JoAnne Ballin (Manor Country Club) and Sally Ratcliffe (The Elkridge Club) were elected to the Executive Committee. They were both presented with a blue blazer to welcome them to the committee.
Finally, Melly turned over the gavel to incoming President Carolyn Hudson, Bowie Golf & Country Club. Melly was thanked for her eight years of service and was presented with a special commemorative gold medal necklace. Carolyn then announced her slate of officers for 2016-2017.
