On July 25th , girls ages 8 to 17 took to the greens for the annual Corena Green Golf Tournament, showcasing their talents and passion for the sport. Held at the beautiful Crow Canyon Golf Course, the event brought together young golfers from different backgrounds and skill levels, all competing in a fun and supportive atmosphere.

The tournament, which was divided into age groups (8-13, and 14-17), featured a morning of competition across 9 holes. Each participant displayed incredible sportsmanship and dedication as they navigated the course, overcoming challenges from tricky sand traps to long fairways.
All the girls played some incredible golf and in the end there were some really low net scores.
At the awards ceremony, trophies were handed out to the top 4 finishers in each division. Every participant received a fun tee prize for their efforts, and several girls expressed excitement about returning for next year’s event.

Beyond the competition, the tournament provided an opportunity for the girls to build friendships, learn from one another, and further their love of the game. It was a day filled with sunny skies, great golf, and memorable moments that celebrated the spirit of youth sports.
This year’s tournament was a huge success, and with such promising talent on display, the future of girls’ golf is looking brighter than ever. Next year’s event will be hosted by Sequoyah Country Club on July 23, 2025… We can’t wait to see what next year will bring!

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.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
