Greetings Everyone! Latest President Update:
Can you believe it Winter season 2024 – 2025 is just about a wrap. Many of you have already headed north and we wish you safe travel and a speedy return. I want to thank our Winter league coordinators Lynn Robbins (Sundays at San Carlos), Pam Cappitelli (Saturdays at Herons Glen), and Natalia Armstrong (Tuesdays at Shell Point jointly with SWFL Chapter). It is through these ladies’ efforts of coordinating weekly with their course and members that we are able, as a chapter to offer numerous golf opportunities. Our chapter runs on volunteers and these ladies are at the core of what we do. Although the season is ending for those of us in “B” Company (be here when you leave and be here when you get back) there will be many play opportunities. Sundays at San Carlos and Tuesday at Shell Point will continue but with earlier tee times and Summer pricing. The Summer travel league is about ready to kick off, and of course we will continue to have monthly events.
I am bursting with excitement for our first opportunity to compete for the traveling cup. We have two four person teams preparing to represent the chapter in the Inaugural Florida LPGA Amateurs Chapter Statewide Tournament June 21st at Red Hills Golf Club. Those who stepped forward to represent the chapter are:
Nancy Sermons (Team Captain)
Bree Hartlage
Cheryl Sadlon
Debbi Sheperd
Connie Burmaster
Carol Mirando
Doris McGuire
Pat Elliot
Natalia Armstrong (alternate)
On the volunteer front, we are recruiting for a Membership Chair. Our current chair is moving North full time. If you would be interested in a chapter leadership role, this is an excellent one. The membership chair’s responsibilities include assisting members with onboarding and resolution of any registration issues. From both the current and previous chairs, the approximate time requirement is about 1 to 2 hours per week with most of the effort occurring during renewal season in the Fall. Remember, our board of directors and committees dedicate many hours to make our Chapter the best it can be, and we value your feedback. Let's envision the strength we can achieve when we work together. Feel free to reach out with your input and comments —I am always available via email (presidentlpgaamateursleechar@gmail.com), in person, text, and calls. Let’s Chat, coffee is on me!
