President's Letter

Ellen Whittle, Ohio State University Golf Club

Ellen Whittle
CDGA President

Welcome to the 2025 golf season of the Columbus District Golf Association (CDGA). We are looking forward to a new season of fun Championships and Tournaments. The CDGA is a supporting organization of the Ohio Golf Association (OGA). Lead by Executive Director, Matt Lefferts and staff Paul Pope, Nate Smith, Ryan Grove, and Jack Rubin. They work very hard to prepare for all the CDGA Championships and Tournaments over the winter, so we have well run events. The many volunteers who assist with conducting the events are greatly appreciated and we can always use more. If you are interested in volunteering, please don't hesitate to contact the staff of the CDGA.

The Columbus District Golf Association works hand in hand with the Ohio Golf Association to give golfers the best experience while playing golf. Our biggest goal this year is to invite new golfers to participate in the events by getting a USGA handicap through the GHIN system. Getting a GHIN handicap can only be achieved through a golf club. Joining a golf club for GHIN is easy. Visit www.ohiogolf.org and navigate to the Handicap & Rules section and then to the GHIN Join/Renew. Playing in events gives you an opportunity to meet new players and learn more about how the game is played in terms of the rules and sportsmanship. Please encourage any golfer you know that doesn't have a GHIN handicap to sign up for one and enter a CDGA event.

Sincerely,
Ellen Whittle
Ohio State University Golf Club
