Interclub Competitions
Edmonton Golf Association (EGA) Ladies Division provides opportunities for interclub competitions within the Edmonton area as noted below. Additional information is available on the website. Enjoy your golfing season!
Match Play – Marshall/Podersky Cups
Mill Woods Ladies Golf Club is a member club of the EGA and therefore the members have access to participate in these tournaments.
The MWLGC Marshall/Podersky Coordinator(s) assigns players for home and away play and will provide information on the format to each team. The players participating in these competitions represent our club, therefore must demonstrate an understanding of the rules of golf and conduct themselves in a positive manner.
To ensure equal opportunities and fairness to all members, golfers who visit other clubs for these competitions are also expected to play an equal number of games hosting visitors at Mill Woods.
Golfers in the Podersky and Marshall games do not take tee times away from members as the players would normally use their clubs scheduled tee times and visitors coming to play at Millwoods are just taking the place of members as they do at the other clubs tee times.
Marshall Cup
The Marshall Cup was donated in 1932 to encourage inter-club competition, foster good sportsmanship and promote friendship. The competition is played on four dates in May and June (usually on Mondays). Business Ladies Clubs participate in this competition on a Sunday.
The format is single match play, in twosomes from each club. Each week, four players visit two clubs and four players remain at home to host the two visiting clubs. Players are placed on teams based on handicap. A maximum of 36 handicap is allowed for stroke calculation. Strokes are given to the higher handicap player as the full difference between the handicaps of the two players.
2023 Marshall Cup Dates are May 15, 29 & June 4, 26

Each week, each club has four teams of 2 players – 2 teams play at home and 2 teams play away. The 2 players on a team must have a combined minimum handicap factor of 30.0.

Interclub Visits – Visitor Days
EGA member clubs host and visit other member clubs for golf and lunch. This enables members to experience other golf courses in the Edmonton region. The number is often restricted to thirty golfers, so members must sign up on the list posted in the locker room. The green fees are paid by the host club for visitors, but lunch is the responsibility of each person. The funds will be collected ahead of time.
