It was back in 1923 that the women members of the Cochecho Country Club in Dover invited women from clubs in other parts of New Hampshire to a tournament. Mrs. A. B. Jenks, of the Manchester Country Club decided to form the New Hampshire Women’s Golf Association.

In 1930, the association decided to go it alone and broke its connection with the state golf association. Their yearly series of golfing meets at members’ courses and annual tournaments continued until the war years, when all activities were suspended because of gasoline rationing and the women’s work in civilian defense and allied war services. Coming back stronger than ever, the association today reflects the nation-wide upsurge of interest in the sport among women.
