Shawn Kruger
Director

Shawn started hacking her way around golf courses in 1996 when she moved to Memphis, TN for a new job and the president of the company suggested she learn to play so she could be part of the client conversations that happened on the course. He took me under his wing and taught me the basics.

After 40 years in financial services, leveraging golf to build relationships, I retired and am now living the dream! I love the game, the beauty of golf courses around the world, the fresh air, sunshine and exercise but most importantly, the amazing friendships that I’ve made through golf!

"I believe golf can be enjoyed by everyone and I strive to serve our members by developing and planning opportunities that provide social, networking, fun play and competitive events for all!"

“Come join us for some fun, friendship and lots of laughter!”

Michele Salinas
Information Officer

Michele has been a member since June 2022.  I have been playing golf for over 50 years.  My sister and I grew playing golf together in Ohio. We learned from our dad at the local country club.  There are two important golf events: (1) I was able to play on the Bowling Green State University women's golf team (2) Played in the Colonial Pro-Am representing Dickies in 2018.

My favorite golf courses are Bear Creek, where I met my husband, and Pinehurst golf courses.  I have been married to Junior for over 40 years, have 2 adult children and 5 grandchildren.  Family is everything to me as well as my love for God. 

“Playing golf is one of my favorite hobbies as well as sewing and reading novels.”  

Laurie Warfield
Finance Officer

Laurie started playing with the LPGA Amateurs Fort Worth Chapter during Covid.   I grew up in Montana where golf was a seasonal sport.   I was excited when we moved to Texas years ago that I was going to be able to play year-round.    

Carrie Shewbart
Events Chair

Carrie started playing with Ft Worth Chapter after her BFF Ruby told her about the annual Fall Get-away at Squaw Valley in Glen Rose in 2021. This Chapter has given me an opportunity to find my competitive spirit again. She is a manager for Gecko Green lawn care company, who has been in the grass and sprinkler business for over 30 years.

Her golf journey started as a summer job at a golf course in Norman Oklahoma (BOOMER). Working on the course and watching people come out and play planted a seed that continues to grow every day.

“As your Events Chair, I want to follow up and continue what Natasha and Tami started, and reach out to those golfers who are looking for a little more fun and competition while visiting all the different courses in the Fort Worth area.”

Tracy Robertson
Communications Chair

Tracy has played golf here and there since graduating college. A series of lessons at the range one year, a company golf scramble a couple of years later, a round or two on a vacation, etc.  In her pursuit of more golf, she joined LPGA Amateurs in 2022 and have enjoyed every single event she has participated in.

Sonja came into golf later in life at the age of 30 and was instantly hooked. She was first introduced to the game through the EWGA chapter in Denver, Colorado, even though she had never played before—and has loved it ever since. Over the past 25 years, she has played golf on and off, and about three years ago joined the Fort Worth/Metroplex chapter.

"I’m so excited to serve as Membership Chair and look forward to meeting as many members as possible, building new connections, and helping others discover the same passion for the game that has brought me so much joy"

Although Natasha has been around golf my whole life, I did not start playing until 18 years ago when I transitioned from playing softball and tennis. I really started focusing on the game when I joined first, the Dallas Chapter EWGA then later the Fort Worth Chapter LPGA Amateurs. I like serving so have had a couple roles on the board and have volunteered for several chapter committees. I am excited and look forward to serving in this new role as Handicap Chair and continuing to provide the excellent service provided by our previous chairs.
