Maine Women’s Amateur Champions

Prior to their merger with the MSGA in 2017, two separate women’s associations existed in the state of Maine, both with their own rich histories of golf in the Pine Tree State. The Women’s Maine State Golf Association (WMSGA) was the first in existence, and conducted their state championship for the first time in 1927. The Southern Maine Women’s Golf Association (SMWGA) was founded in the 1970’s and ran its first championship in 1977. In 2012 the two associations decided to hold one state championship, named the Maine Women’s Amateur, to determine one overall state champion, and today the MWA is the marquis event on the women’s championship calendar.
