The point system was created to select one player to represent the OSWGA at the USGA State Team Championship, which is held every 2 years.  That player is joined by two players from the RIWGA.  The player with the most points at the conclusion of two years earns the right to represent the OSWGA.  In order to be eligible you must be a member by April 1st of said year.

Points can be earned between August 1, 2009 and July 31, 2011.  You can earn points by finishing within the top ten gross positions against the field.  In partner events, the points will be equally divided amongst each team member.  The following 12 tournaments are point events:

~ Nathalie A. Price Memorial Spring Open

~ RI Women's State Open Championship

~ RI Women's State Team Championship

~ RI Women's State President's Cup

~ RI Women's State Four-Ball Championship ~ Championship Division only
