Ottawa Chain Maidens presents the CWE

Welcome ladies!

We are excited to be participating in the first Canadian Women’s Event (CWE). The Canadian Women's Event (CWE) is a newly created tournament to celebrate Canadian women in disc golf. CWE's across Canada will take place in the months of May and June and a Canadian ranking system will be created for all participants. Our event will be held this year at Ferguson Forest Disc Golf Centre in Kemptville, Ontario on June 3rd, 2023.

If you have never played disc golf before, or just began throwing, a tournament might seem like an impossible or intimidating event. However, this event is more about celebrating women's accomplishment in sport, our disc golf journey and getting to meet more female disc golfers than competing. To help facilitate youth and newcomers to the sport, the second round of golf is optional for some divisions.

Your round score(s) will be uploaded along with other participants from across the country, which may qualify you for a national award in your age category or skill level. There will be prizes and trophies awarded at the local level for all ages and skill levels, as well as an amazing players pack! The CWE players pack contains a premium plastic latitude 64 custom stamped tournament disc, a custom G.O.A.T. towel with the event logo, a very special mini disc, stickers, a mystery Throw Pink gift AND additional goodies.

THE FIRST 41 AMATEURS REGISTERED ARE GUARANTEED THE CWE PLAYERS PACK. AN ALTERNATE PLAYER PACK WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE NOT RECEIVING THE CWE PACK.

We hope to make this an experience you won’t forget by providing fun, quality play at all levels, from Beginners to Professionals. We will also have Junior Divisions and a Novice Division (FA4). No prior experience is necessary! We look forward to seeing plenty of new faces on the course who will be welcomed by more experienced players. Let's grow the sport for women in our area, and enjoy a fun day of disc golfing together!

Please share this event with your friends and family, and help us make history! You don't want to miss being a part of this event. All ages and skill levels welcome. As we continue to bring in amazing sponsors, this page will continue to be updated.
