Our annual Chapter Championship was held at Anaheim Hills Golf Club, and it was a great two days of golf, friendly competition, and time together on the course.

Thank you to everyone who came out to play, support, and help make the event a success. The competition was strong across both days, and it was fun to see so many members taking part in one of our Chapter’s annual traditions.

A big thank-you again to all of our players and supporters. Events like this are a fun reminder of what makes our group special: good golf, friendly competition, and a welcoming community for players at all levels.

We hope to see even more members join us for next year’s Chapter Championship!

January golf has been treating us very well. While much of the country has been bundled up and dreaming of spring, we’ve been out enjoying classic Southern California winter golf—great weather, beautiful courses, and even better company.

We kicked off the year with fun events at Goose Creek and Los Serranos, and the energy has been fantastic. From crisp mornings to comfortable afternoon rounds, January delivered exactly what we love about winter golf here. Strong participation, lots of laughs, and that familiar mix of friendly competition and easy camaraderie made these events a great way to start the year.

It’s been especially nice to see both familiar faces and newer members out on the course, reconnecting after the holidays and setting the tone for a great golf season ahead. If January is any indication, 2026 is going to be a fun one.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to keep the momentum going off the course as well.

This is always a relaxed, social evening and a great way to connect midweek. Mark your calendar and plan to stop by—we’d love to see you there.

More golf, more events, and more chances to play together are coming up soon. Here’s to a great start to the year and an even better season ahead.

Our LPGA Orange County chapter closed out the year with a festive holiday get-together hosted by our President, Sandra. We gathered around the table for a potluck dinner, shared plenty of laughs and jokes, and enjoyed catching up with one another.

The gift exchange brought out some great golf-themed surprises and lots of smiles, and it was a perfect reminder of the strong sense of community in our chapter. It was a fun, relaxed evening filled with friendship, generosity, and a shared love of the game. A big thank you to Sandra for hosting and to everyone who joined in to make it such a great night.

Our Orange County Chapter proudly reclaimed the 2025 Cactus Cup against Palm Springs!  With 8 matches played, we battled through 2 All Square (tie) results, 2 losses, and 4 hard-fought wins to secure the trophy.  It was a beautiful and warm day at Goose Creek —a course that is always a challenge! But neither the heat nor the tricky layout could hold us back.

This year’s incredible team consisted of Sandra Bensworth, Jan Cenedella, Angie Charky, Janet Cleary, Debbie Dakouzlian, Mary Guerrero, Shelley Klick, Eileen Licerio, Colleen Marinelli, Margaret Miller, Mireya Moreno, Sumiko Perry, Maryalice Prescott, Michelle Sullivan, Elaine Thayer, and Gaye Thomson.  A special thank you to Janet, Eileen and Mary for organizing this fantastic event for our chapter.

Interested in playing next year?  We will be back in Palm Springs in 2026 to defend the Cup!  

In our recently completed Chapter elections, Maryalice Prescott has been unanimously reelected to a second one-year term as President! 

Also, please welcome Mary Guerrero as a new member of the board!  She will be heading our social media efforts.
