Girls, ages 8 through 10, will play from the 250-yard markers (except 3-pars); girls, ages 11 through 17, will play from the ladies’ regulation tees.

Due to generous donations from our WNHGA clubs, as well as donations from private donors, we will award the low gross winners, in the 14–17-year age group, educational gift certificates to be redeemed at their choice of post high school institutions. Eighteen certificates totaling $10,750 will be awarded with the 1st place award beginning at $1,000. (USGA Amateur Rules of Golf).

In addition to the gift certificates, prizes and awards will be presented to winners of all age groups, plus tee prizes for all girls.

The field will be limited to the first 52 applicants in the 8 through 13 age group, and to the first 52 applicants in the 14 through 17 age group.

Corena Green History

The Corena Green tournament is named in honor and memory of a WNHGA director who was an avid supporter of women’s golf.

During her second term of office, as president in the late 1980’s, she began to promote the idea of junior golf for girls. Although, WNHGA had supported junior golf, it soon became apparent that girls were relegated to secondary consideration. Thus, the idea of a special tournament for girls only, funded by WNHGA, was born.

Corena’s sudden death in 1990, during her last year on the WNHGA Board, came as a shock to all who knew her. Her many friends throughout the WNHGA clubs wanted to honor her, so in consultation with her family, the WNHGA Corena Green Classic for Junior Girls golf tournament was born.

The success of this annual tournament would not be possible without the ongoing support from all of the WNHGA member clubs in the form of both volunteers and donations. The money donated covers tee prizes, award trophies and advanced education scholarships. This tournament is open to any junior girl, ages 8 to 17. Neither the girl, nor her family, need to be a member of a WNHGA club, but the girl must be sponsored by one. The girls should also have played some golf and have some basic knowledge of the game and rules.
