Looking for the opportunity to play 18 holes on a variety of local courses.  We have the league for YOU!  Our Tuesday league is casual play—designed for all golfers who enjoy a fun round of golf.  This is a smaller group and no tournament structure.  All handicap levels are welcome – you just need to keep up.  If you struggle on a hole, you are free to pick up, record your maximum score, and move to the next hole.  No weekly commitment required. 

Get on the e-mail list to receive a weekly invitation to play. Come make some new golfing friends!

NCGA WOMEN’S MATCH PLAY CHALLENGE

We asked for it!  They listened!  Our chapter has played match play for years.  We have embraced this format and hoped for additional opportunities to play other ladies outside of our chapter.  We know match play works best when paired against opponents with similar handicaps.  Let’s get out and support this new opportunity provided by Northern California Golf Association (NCGA).   

How to Join:

Register at NCGA.org before March 29.  (All handicap ranges are welcome.)

Cost is $25 to join.  At registration, select the “Sacramento Region”

Registration LINK

After registering, you’ll be placed in a regional bracket and assigned an initial opponent.  You and the assigned opponent will schedule your “Round of 64” match at a mutually convenient course. 

If you win, you will continue in the challenge bracket to the “Round of 32” and so on.  This continues until a winner is crowned.

Schedule:

Round of 64: April 13 – June 14
Round of 32: June 15 – July 26
Round of 16: July 27 – September 7
Round of 8: September 8 – October 11
Quarterfinal: October 25 at Poppy Ridge
Semifinal & Final: November (dates TBD)

Several LPGA Amateurs members (our chapter and others) are already signed up—more participants are welcome!   We would love to have a full field supporting women's golf.   Questions regarding this tournament, or other NCGA women’s events, contact our NCGA Club Representative, Pam Katros at pamkatros@gmail.com

NOTE:  Major change in Team League Play from previous years.  Each club can register unlimited teams, however, the team must be the same four players for all events this year. (We will no longer be identifying players for teams.)  Teams can be comprised of any four players as long as all members registered with NCGA through our club – LPGA Amateurs Sacramento Chapter.  You can form your own team, but please notify Pam Katros when a team is formed.  They will be named sequentially, i.e. LPGA Amateurs Sacramento 1, LPGA Amateurs Sacramento 2, etc.   Team League Play will be scored on the Women’s One Day Series play dates.  Check with your friends and coordinate your events if you’d like to be on a team.  Don’t forget – the first phase registration opens Monday Jan 12. 

Happy New Year!

Pam Katros has stepped up to the challenge of serving as our NCGA Club Representative.  Every NCGA club is required to have a representative who will help members become aware of opportunities to play and learn.  NCGA has rolled out an entire new program aimed specifically at WOMEN'S golf events.  Details are still being worked out.  Pam is in communication with NCGA to learn all that this means for you - the golfer! 

The first registration window for NCGA events opens January 12. 

Look for updated info from Pam prior to that date!  Thanks for volunteering!

The Tuesday Casual Play group and other members set out to use our Haggin Oaks golf certificate on December 30.  A final opportunity for free golf in 2025!  Maybe we can set a goal of using those certificates a bit earlier in 2026.  It was cold but we proved to be a hardy group of golfers.  Hoping everyone is setting some golf goals for 2026 which includes more opportunities for fun rounds with friends.

Chao Chen, Lori Lucius, and Sonya Bradley line up to turn in those FREE golf certificates.  (Sonya was disappointed about using it early this year....not her usual 12/31 outing.)

Our best pun writer and leader of the Tuesday Casual Play group -- Betty Galvez!

Marcia Whiting, Marian Kubiak, and Andra Saxe bundle up for the final round!
