Rachel Strauss is the 2016 Club Champion of the West Seattle Women's Golf Club. In the annual two-day tournament at West Seattle Golf Course held August 22 and 23, Strauss posted a low gross score of 167 to take the title for the second year in a row.

In defending her title, this marks the 18th time in 24 years that Strauss has won the West Seattle Women's Club championship. She first won the title in 1992 and had a 6-year run from 1992 to 1997 as well as a 7-year run from 1999 to 2005.

Strauss is also the 2016 winner of the Greater Seattle Women's Public Golf Association City Championship tournament held earlier this month at Willows Run Golf Course.

Strauss is a long time resident of West Seattle.
