The 35th Annual Women’s Nine Hole Golf Association’s Corena Green Classic for Junior Girls was held on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at the historic Sequoyah Country Club in Oakland. This year’s theme “The Mast”Hers” treated the girls to a long-held traditional tournament experience including caddy like markers and a green jacket winners’ ceremony. Thank you to the Sequoyah Country Club Niners for their creativity and hospitality in hosting of this tournament.

With the generous donations of the WNHGA member clubs, we were able to sponsor this tournament and give our top winners gift certificates redeemable at their choice of post high school institutions. The gift certificates awarded to the low gross winners in the 14 through 17 age-group totaled almost $11,000. In addition to the gift certificates, awards were presented to the top four winners of each age group, as well as tee prizes for all girls.

The field this year included 22 players in the 8-to-13-year age-group and 34 players in the 14 through 17 age-group. While this tournament is sponsored by WNHGA, it could not happen without the support of the players parents, family and coaches. Each of you play an integral role in shaping these girls as individuals, your guidance and support are vital to their growth and development, both on and off the course.

Our location for next year’s tournament is still being negotiated, however our date will fall within the last two weeks of July. Reserve your calendars and plan to join us in the fun.

If you know of any girl who may have won one of our certificates and is now attending a post high school institution, encourage them to redeem their certificate by downloading the form found on this page and forwarding it to the WNHGA Treasurer. Thank you for helping to promote junior girls’ golf and joining us at Sequoyah this year. We look forward to seeing everyone next year.

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.
