About our Sponsor

Conceived by WDCGA Past President (1979-1980) Ruth Ann Verell to give back to the WDCGA and honor its tradition of strong presidents dating back to1924, the Verell Past President’s Plate introduced an innovative format with its inception in 2007. Played as a Ryder Cup, the tournament challenges its two-person teams with six holes each of Four-Ball Stroke Play, Alternate Shot, and Scramble.

Ruth Ann gives back to golf in many venues. She generously donates her time and talent to the WDCGA, where she was recognized with the first Sharon Briggs Award for Distinguished Service in 2002; she is currently a member of the USGA Women's Mid-Amateur Championship Committee, and she is the Tournament Director of the Southwest (Florida) TriCounty Golf Association.
