Ladies from Robson Ranch supported the Central Arizona Golf District (CAGD) in 2022 in several tournaments, and we had a few winners. CAGD is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization founded in 1961 that offers women of all skill levels a chance to compete and have fun playing golf. They have more than 1,300 members from all corners of the Greater Phoenix and central Arizona counties. If you have an official Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) handicap, and are a member of a sanctioned women’s league associated with the Arizona Golf Association, you are welcome to join CAGD and participate in their tournaments. Robson Ranch has two ladies who are the representatives on the CAGD committee—Candy Burtis and her alternate Bobbie Johnson.
There were five tournaments held in 2022, and Robson Ranch had ladies participate in all five of the events. Each tournament is a two-person best ball event. Robson Ranch had a few winners as well.
