On Sunday,  October 16, 2022, the LPGA Amateur Coastal League will participate in the Play for P.I.N.K. Fundraising Golf Event at Bella Vista Country Club in Marlboro, NJ. 

Please click HERE for more information in the email which was sent to members on September 8.

Always be ready to play your shot when it's your turn.  (At the putting green, you should be watching the others for speed of ball, line, etc.  When it's your turn, you should only need a practice stroke--maybe two--then hit!)

In a cart:  It is a shared responsibility. Drive to the player whose ball is farthest.   She will take the 1 or 2 clubs she may need to execute the shot.  Drop her off and drive to a safe spot (not in her line of ball flight/in front of her) near the other (cart) player's ball (and not disrupting the other players).  Get your club and be ready to play when it's your turn.  The other player will meet you at the cart.  Repeat.  Keep moving forward.

Park the cart at the exit of the green, on the way to the next hole.  Record your score at the Tee area of the next hole.

Searching for a ball?

Play your ball before helping another look for hers.  (Tell her a reference of where it may lie.)  3 MINUTES MAX for searching.

Chapter elections are here.

Please help shape the future of our Chapter!

Do you have a passion for golf? Do you wish to impact in the community? Are you or do you know a fellow member who would make a great leader? We need your help. We have many capable and willing members who have the skills, talent, and desire to lead our Chapter. This is your opportunity to make a positive difference, nominate yourself or someone else for a Chapter Leadership position.
 
There are only three elected Board positions and we are establishing them in a staggered rotation which will prevent the entire Board not turning over in the same year. This year we will be electing the following:

• President: 2-year term
• Director for Finance: 2-year term
• Director (role to be determined): 1-year term

An overview of the duties of these positions can be found on our Google Drive and a nominating form can be accessed at https://forms.gle/pjVmQeYWwgLUJh8m9. You may nominate yourself or someone else from the membership who you feel would be an asset to our leadership and foster the growth of our Chapter. Submit multiple nomination forms if you wish to nominate for more than one position. 

Our mission is connecting women to learn, play and enjoy golf for business and for fun. Being a Chapter leader or serving in a key capacity is a meaningful way to contribute to the Chapter decisions and operations and help carry out our mission. There are many proven benefits of volunteering (click here to read fifteen proven benefits of volunteering) for our group specifically it is a great way to build relationships while making a positive change. Please consider making a leadership commitment and complete and return the attached nomination form.

Many of us joined the organization without knowing anyone in the organization. The friendships and connections we have made and the lives we have touched have been amazing rewards for such a minimal contribution. We hope you will join us in sharing that experience.

Here’s our election timetable:

• Nomination form return deadline: August 25, 2022
• Ballot/slate of candidates sent to members: September 7, 2022
• Ballot/slate of candidates return deadline: September 21, 2022
• New Chapter Leadership installed: October 15, 2022

The LPGA Amateurs has expectations of every chapter leader, clearly spelled out in the Chapter Leader and Confidentiality Agreement that you may wish to peruse.
 
Each elected chapter Director accepts one or more leadership roles within the chapter.  A critical role for an elected director is that of Finance and one of our chapter’s elected directors will be required to fulfil that role.  Other leadership roles that an elected director could take on are:

• Marketing
• Communications
• Events Coordination
• League Coordination
• Membership
• Education

These roles can also be filled by non-elected volunteer directors. Each Director nominated should indicate their interest in one or more of the roles that need to be filled.
