EWGA is the only women's organization in the world to have a defined program dedicated to supporting and mentoring new members and beginning golfers at a grass roots level... More than 1500 women have joined the program as either a mentor or mentee.

S.W.I.N.G.

S.W.I.N.G. (Skillful Women Inspiring New Golfers) is a new golfer mentoring program available to all EWGA members and supported by EWGA partner - Swing by bette & court

S.W.I.N.G. teams experienced golfers with newer golfers to help them feel comfortable on the golf course.  S.W.I.N.G. is what EWGA is all about - helping women enter the game of golf in a fun, supportive and welcoming environment!

Who is a Mentor?

A mentor is an experienced, but not necessarily good golfer who guides a new golfer on pace of play, basic rules and proper etiquette on and off the golf course.  If the new golfer is also a new member, a mentor may guide the new member on how to participate in EWGA. 

Who is a Mentee?

A mentee is someone making the transition from instruction to playing on a golf course. A mentee is paired with a mentor to guide them around the golf course safely and answer questions about etiquette, basic rules and the other nuances of the game in order to build confidence and comfort in the golf course setting.

S.W.I.N.G. runs from January 1 - December 31. In addition, ALL U.S. EWGA Chapters are listed as participants in the program.

S.W.I.N.G. is a win-win for both mentors and mentees. Every EWGA member who joins as a mentor or mentee will receive a 25% discount for one year on all regularly priced Swing by bette&court products from affiliate ForeSport.com.  Mentors will receive a unique S.W.I.N.G. cap.

There's more... five mentors will be chosen from a drawing to win a $200 shopping spree from Swing by bette & court, and five mentees will be selected at random to receive a prize from a top EWGA sponsor. These awards are presented at the EWGA Conference.
