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.
