Country Club and the Stroke Play Championship at The Oaks Country Club in Tulsa. In addition to the changes in the handicap required to play in these notable events, WOGA has also altered its Fore State requirements for juniors. This year the Girl’s Junior Champion will receive automatic placement on the WOGA Fore State Team, and any junior girl who plays in the Junior Girl’s Championship may be considered as a captain’s pick on the Fore State Team. Fore State is becoming more and more competitive with many junior girls and college players participating. It gives juniors the opportunity to experience different formats such as Foursomes, Fourball and Match Play as well as see what the competition is like among the college players,» says Fore State captain and vice president, Dills. The Fore State team will compete against similar teams from Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas. The Fore State tournament will be held July 29-31 in Hutchinson, Kan. WOGA has made several efforts to increase membership on the whole. WOGA recently launched a new Facebook and website campaign answering a common question they hear from most women who are hesitant to join, “Am I Good Enough?” The answer is Yes! Sign up today.

When Landmark was going strong and all of us stayed here and were paid to wear the Oak Tree logo, that was a different time. We’re hoping Kevin Tway stays here. We’d love to see Charles Howell and some of the other younger guys live here. Your son Hayden Wood is a starter for Edmond North. How fun is that for you to watch him develop? Hayden is doing great. He’s outdriving me now and he has beat me. He works hard and listens to me. That’s one of the neatest things is that he still asks a lot of questions and listens to my advice. I know a lot of 15-year-olds don’t listen to their parents so I’ve been fortunate there. The hardest thing is not being able to talk to him. I try to stay about 100 yards away and just watch. 50 •••••• www.golfoklahoma.org
