Become a sponsor of LPGA Amateur Golf Association - Rochester, NY Region

Why become a sponsor?

We maintain an opt-in email list of more than 400 Rochester-area professional women–and we have sponsorship programs that will put information about your business right in their in-boxes 2-4 times per month.

Our website consistently ranks on top on key search terms like “Rochester woman’s golf.” And even our least expensive sponsorship programs now give you a hotlink from our website home page!

We verbally thank our sponsors by name at each of our events — that’s once or twice per month — and remind our members to choose our sponsors first.

We’re a growing organization that helps women golfers network. They are looking for things your business offers. Let’s make sure they know about you!

Your logo is published on an Event Calendar Card we hand out to participants at each of our events. This card is designed so event participants will take it home and refer to it again and again throughout the 2023 golf season. Another way we put — and keep — your business’ name in front of our members and guests!

Sponsoring us generates good will among our members, which will enhance your business’ valuable brand.

By becoming an Event Sponsor, you’ll have an opportunity to speak about your business at one of our events. Your support for the event will be recognized in all of our event promotions, such as press releases, website articles, and e-newsletter articles. What a great way to deliver multiple impressions to our golfers!

In Kind Sponsorship:
We’re also looking for donations of goods and services to use as prizes for our events. What a great way to support our chapter while raising awareness about your business!

Greystone Double Eagle

We are so thankful to announce The Links At Greystone just became a new sponsor at the Double Eagle level!
It is easy to see where The Links at Greystone got is name. They grey stones framing the water’s edge at the golf course’s most dramatic holes , the Par 3 Hole #6 and the Par 4 Hole #18, stare back at players in defiance, demanding they hit a quality shot or say good bye to the lost ball. The rolling, forested land is ideal for golf, soaked with ponds and wetlands. Without any homes in sight, peace and solitude are your only playing partners. Architect Craig Schreiner shaped the massive greens with multiple tiers and wild swinging breaks. Missing the green in the right spot is almost always better than hitting the green in the wrong one.

This is our first year as a chapter having a league at the Links at Greystone. When you have a choice to play some golf, please keep this new sponsor in mind.

Linda Opalisky:

Linda Opalisky brings over 30 years of professional teaching experience toWebster Golf Club. Through the years, Linda played on the Futures mini tour, taught in golf schools in Florida and New York and has attended numerous PGA and LPGA seminars thus keeping abreast of innovations on the instructional side of the game. She has created programs to promote her personal philosophy that golf is a game for a lifetime and should be fun to both learn and play. As a result of her success and dedication, she has been selected to the PGA President’s Council for Growing the Game through Player Development Programs every year beginning in 2004 to the present.

Linda emphasizes alignment, routines, and the short game because those parts of the game don’t know or care if you are young or old, strong or weak, male or female. All are crucial to lowering your score. Understanding the four basic positions of the follow‐ thru is important too, because when standing still anyone can be as good as a tour player. Linda often uses ‘on course’ instruction because just hitting balls is not at all like playing the game.
