Stanton Ridge Country Club
Founded in 1993, Stanton Ridge Golf and Country Club is tucked among the rolling hills of historic Hunterdon County and surrounded by large working farms and beautiful private homes. Designed by award-winning architect Steven Kay, Stanton Ridge's challenging layout boasts a par of 71 with varying degrees of difficulty. Players will need every club in their bag as they navigate 5150 yards of varying elevations and tall fescue grasses and a slope of 127 with a 70.7 rating. The 6th and 10th holes are very long and difficult, calling for good course management off the tee as water comes into play off both tees.
The Garden State Women's Golf Association's member at Stanton Ridge is Maura Waters Ballard. Maura is a former State Amateur Champion and coach of Rutgers Men and Women's Golf Teams.
The USGA is Coming to Our Area This Summer!
2009 features a rare treat for local golf fans as the USGA brings five championships to our area. While they all feature world-class fields, we are asking you to come out and support two of the most important events for women's golf.
The US Women's Open will take place on July 9-12 at Saucon Valley Country Club, a short drive down Interstate 78 into Pennsylvania. Saucon Valley is a superb, spectator-friendly venue and the Open promises to attract a field full of top-notch players who we can all learn from. Tickets are available and reasonably priced and we encourage you to come out and support this exciting event.
The other event that needs our support is the US Girls Junior Championship being held on July 20-25 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. Being contested alongside the US Junior Amateur Championship, the events will allow you to get up close to some of the world's best junior talent, the stars of tomorrow who may find their way to the LPGA Tour and PGA Tour in the years to come. There is no charge for entry so come out and cheer on these world class juniors.
The USGA's crown jewel, the US Open, is being held once again at Bethpage State Park on Long Island from June 18-21 with practice rounds on June 15-17. For those interested in attending, tickets are available directly from the USGA. Spectators can take a Long Island Rail Road train from Penn Station to Farmingdale where vans will take you directly to the course's front door. Trains depart every 30 minutes.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Walker Cup matches being contested on September 12-13 at the historic Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA. The hard-fought amateur competition between a USGA team and a team from Great Britain and Ireland will give spectators a front row seat. Tickets are available from the USGA.
Details regarding these championships can be found on the USGA's website at

SENIOR/SUPER SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
The inaugural GSWGA Senior Championship was held in 1976 at Alpine Country Club in memory of Mrs. Marge Mason. Marge's mother, Katherine Cambridge, donated the trophy - a most impressive lidded tureen that Marge had won as a runner-up to Babe Zaharias in the 1945 Texas Open. Mrs. Cambridge was on hand that day at Alpine to present it to the first Senior Champion, Mrs. Pat Fisher. In response to the fitness and ability of our older players, the Super Senior Championship was begun in 1990. The tray awarded to the winner each year was donated by Mrs. Honey Frank, a charter member.
