The Division III Women's Golf Committee has taken a strong stand on the issue of spectators using tobacco products near student-athletes during the Division III Women's Golf championships.

In addition to the tobacco issue, the committee also reviewed championships selection criteria and clarified the scoring average and strength-of-schedule criteria. The committee issued a reminder to coaches that selections are made based on the complete evaluation of all criteria. If the rankings cannot be determined once all the criteria are evaluated, then the selection criteria will be prioritized in the following order: head-to-head competition within the region; win/loss record both in the region and overall; comparison with common opponents; scoring average (adjusting scoring average and team and individual stroke average and score vs. par); strength of schedule (quality of the field, number of teams in tournaments and the number of rounds in tournaments); spring results compared to fall results; and eligibility and availability of student-athletes.

In other action, the committee discussed implementation of the weather guidelines to include professionally trained personnel on site during the championship. Currently a weather detection system is on site; however, there is a lack of trained professionals on site to assist in analyzing the weather data.
