Several features combine to make the TRW one of the outstanding events in women's collegiate golf..
|
| The Golf Course The Palos Verdes golf course was designed by renown golf architect George Thomas and his assistant William Bell. The course opened in 1924. With the white tees stretched to 5900 for this competition, the ladies will play a course that is traditional in character and with fabulous views of the Pacific Ocean and city of Los Angeles. |
Host Families Members of Palos Verdes Golf Club serve as hosts for the teams. The hosts insure that the teams have a great time in their visit to Southern California. |
Three tournaments in One Naturally there is an overall team tournament to determine the official TRW Regional Challenge Champion and an individual champion as well. In addition, and uniquely, there is the tournament within the tournament. The 18 schools are randomly divided into 9 teams, with one school from the West Region and a school from either the Central or East Regions. . The two schools from the winning team are automatically invited back for next year's Challenge. |
Sunday Tournment In the Sunday Tournament the players are teamed with guests of the sponsor and members of the Palos Verdes Golf Club. Eighteen fivesomes, with 2 or 3 of the college women on each team, play a two low net ball per fivesome tournament. This tournament is not only special and fun for the sponsor guests, members, and team players, it also gives the ladies an introduction to the golf course. |
Sunday Night Banquet The field from the Sunday Tournament and other guests have a banquet to celebrate the winning teams and to determine the make-up of the regional teams. |
