Jackie Parker subbed in the Beckett Ridge league a couple weeks ago.  Our game of the week was fewest putts. The "Aim-Point" clinic she attended earlier this year really paid off! The prize she chose was the quick reference guide, which will help clarify the options available when playing from hazards.  She continues to use what she learned in her game and again won another putting contest last weekend.  

"That was a great Clinic!!! Thank you LPGA AMATEURS for sponsoring that Clinic." ~ Jackie Parker

Along with the summer heat comes the thrill of LPGA Amateur’s competitions.  Many members from our chapter proudly participate in nationwide events.  

Congratulations to Amanda Zerhusen on winning the women’s half-marathon in the recent 2026 Flying Pig! She completed the race in 1:19:53. Well done!  Heck, that is faster than the commute to downtown during rush hour! Check out our Chapter's Facebook page for more.

The Mill Warm-up League was fantastic! First off, I'd like to thank out captain, Grace, for dialing up the sunshine for all four weeks. What were the odds of that?!  Our last two weeks of playing scramble format, we chose to play the "most interesting" lie instead of the "best" lie ... no hitting out of the fairways for us.  This allowed us to practice shots that were a little more challenging, so now we will be more comfortable standing over those balls when we play this summer. (It will happen!)

Everyone picked up on different tips Andrew and Eric shared along the way.  Some of my favorites ... 1) Gravity is your friend (you don't have to swing hard at those close chips around the green, just let the club drop and do all the work) ... 2) Finish the swing ... and 3) It's better to read more into a break on the green and make it on the high side because even if you miss, it will be breaking towards the hole instead of away.

I will definitely be signing up for the warm-up league again next year!

Instructions from Tee-Off Brunch Packet:  LPGA Queen City Championship - Instructions for Tickets

Members started off the golf season right with the spring league at Aston Oaks!  Weather changed week to week ... wearing long underwear one week and short sleeves with a skirt the next.  But what would you expect in March in Cincinnati, right? Be sure to check out the pics on the home page for what the group named, "Super fun day!"

Special thanks to Marcie Cohen for both sending the pictures to share and captaining the league!
