It was a beautiful day for our November golf event at Rockledge CC!  We had lots of fun on the course and collected a lot of donations for The Children's Hunger Project.

Our Membership Social at Tuscany Grill was a lot of fun and a huge success!! We enjoyed spending time together with current members and guests, excellent Italian food, learned about the benefits of LPGA Amateur Golf Association membership and the upcoming chapter events.

We are starting a new golf education series!  Some of the feedback we have received is that newer golfers are not always comfortable to come to events until they have gained more confidence in their games, and we want to help new golfers get to the course!  So we have a series of clinics, 4 per quarter, that will be taught at different courses by their resident golf pro.  

The first series of clinics will begin Oct 26 at Cocoa Beach Golf Club 11a-12p, taught by Holly Gregory.  You can sign up for one clinic or all clinics.  Cost is $25/clinic.  Sign up by contacting patryanx@gmail.com.  Clinics can only accommodate 10 ladies.

Oct 26 Full swing basics -- reminders/fundamentals

Nov 2 Short game, chipping, pitching, bunker, putting

Nov 9 Driving, second shot

Nov 23 On course management play

In the Spring, the clinics will be taught by Justin Blazer at Duran Golf Course, beginning in mid April, on Wednesdays at 630p

In the Summer, they will be taught by Matt Morrison, beginning in July on Wednesdays at 630p

Orlando invited the Brevard chapter to play with them at their Wedgefield Event in June.  And we had a great chapter turnout, with about half of the field being Brevard members or joint Brevard/Orlando members.  But the best news was that Melody Buller had a hole in one!  Thank you Melody for the bucket of beers you provided to everyone for your accomplishment :) 

And as an LPGA Amateur member, Mel wilI be receiving a discount card for Troon- affiliated golf courses.  Way to go Mel!!

LPGA Amateurs has launched a new virtual community where each chapter has its own section and can also view membership-wide information.  Within our chapter community, we can use it as a blog and communication amongst us all for the latest updates and news.  Please post your thoughts and ideas and ways that we could make this new tool useful for our chapter.   

Here is the direct link to try it out:  Virtual Community (you should also have an email from LPGA Amateurs with the link and additional instructions for completing your profile and establishing preferences)- it would be great to have everyone update their photos and and contact information in the chapter. 

Did you know that one of the benefits of being an LPGA Amateurs member is that you and a guest can attend LPGA events for free?  All you have to do is take your LPGA Amateurs card (digital works) to the will call window for the tournament, and you can get in free.  Living in Florida, there are lots of LPGA events that we can access.  Make sure you renew your membership or join to be able to take advantage of this event!!!
