- We had a successful Play for P.I.N.K. outing on September 17th at the Highbridge Hills Golf Club in Highbridge Hills. Every year we play Pink Lady. Every team gets a pink ball and the foursome rotates the ball as each hole is played. The team that manages to hold on to the pink ball for all 18 holes wins the game. This year, the 1st place team was Elsie Ahrend, Diane Anderson, Sue Stager, and Sheila McShane. The 2nd place team was Sue Roberts, Jennifer Taddeo, and Darlene Robinson. Diane Anderson won longest drive, and Lori Dolnick won closest to the pin. The chapter was able to raise $800 for BCRF through registration fees and bidding on 3 prizes. Ingrid Brase made a lovely seat cover, Donna Beland donated a Visa gift card, and the course donated a foursome that we raffled off. Thanks to Sue Roberts for putting this outing together, and to the Play 4 Pink Foundation for donating the team prizes.
- We concluded our season with the FINAL PUTT outing and luncheon at the Hopewell Valley Golf Club in Hopewell on October 15th. 36 chapter members enjoyed a pre-round breakfast, golf and the awards and recognition luncheon afterwards. It was a beautiful fall day and the 9 scramble teams enjoyed the fall colors and each other’s company. Congratulations to the day’s golf contest winners: the first-place scramble team of Siobhan Beere, Sheila McShane, Maya Murthy and Marge Zietchick, longest drive: Dot Garrihy and closest to the pin: Doris Rudnick. President Donna Beland also recognized the volunteers who helped make the 2022 season such a success. She was also recognized for her contributions to the chapter both as Events Director and President.
- Congratulations to our Match Play team, the Scramblers! This year our chapter had two teams compete in the Cup Qualifier, that was held in Clifton, VA at the Twin Lakes Golf Course in September: The Scramblers and the Back 9 Bandits.

The Scramblers will be playing in the National Championship – The Cup Finals, which will be held at the Horseshoe Bay Resort, in Horseshoe Bay TX, near Ausitin TX, on 10/29 and 10/30.
