The LPGA Amateurs is run by a team of dedicated volunteers dedicated to our mission of connecting women to learn, play and enjoy golf. We believe that we have many capable and willing members who have the skills, talent, and desire to lead our Chapter. If you are keen and collaborative or are looking to expand your abilities by joining a board – we welcome you to apply for the open positions on our 2027/28 Board of Directors.
Your Barrie Chapter Board of Directors is responsible for planning and executing our weekly league and special golf events, promoting member skill development, creating social opportunities and growing our membership.
