NORTON, Massachusetts – The Spring Team Match season came to a close as 25 teams will have their names etched into history for having won their Cup.
“What an amazing season, filled with lots of team spirit and camaraderie,” said Naomi Nesenoff, Manager of Women’s Events and Player Development for Mass Golf. “Congratulations to all of the winning teams in each Cup and we look forward to honoring them with the engraving of their team name on our Cup trophies in the Massachusetts Golf Museum.”
One of Mass Golf’s largest competitive fields, the Spring Team Matches carry a field size of 144 teams in a total of 24 Cups. Each Cup is made up of 6 teams who travel between courses every Thursday during the months of April and May. The competition dates back to 1900 when the Women’s Golf Association of Boston was formed, which in 1929 became known as the Women’s Golf Association of Massachusetts and in 2018 merged with the Massachusetts Golf Association to form Mass Golf.
“The member clubs and courses are extremely supportive of Spring Team Matches. It is a lot of coordination each week during April and May, but they continue to provide the teams and their guests with everything they need to be successful. We appreciate the level of importance that they have placed on continuing to grow women’s amateur golf in Massachusetts.”
