Happy July! I hope everyone had a happy July 4^th and that you are taking advantage of the cooler weather to play golf. Rain keeps interrupting on Monday and Wednesday night leagues, but we’ve had a great turnout in both leagues when the weather cooperates. The Traveling Match Play is in its final month of regular play before we head into playoffs in August. Thank you to our league coordinators for all the work they do!  

Next weekend the chapter heads to Honeybrook. On August 8^th, we will travel to a surprise course for another of the chapter’s favorite events, The Mystery Bus. As one of three people who know the destination, this should be another great day of golf and the time spent on the bus with other members is always fun. Sign up today! Keep watching newsletters for our September 19^th event at Riverwinds and our season closer at Bella Vista on October 10^th.  Thank you to our event coordinators for a great first half of the season. I am looking forward to our late summer and fall events!

Open Board Seats and Volunteers Needed

I, along with many members of the current chapter board, have served on the board in some capacity for almost a decade. It has been a great opportunity to get to know so many members of our Chapter, create friendships, and have a voice in the future direction of the Chapter. As my second term as Chapter President comes to a close, I have been reflecting on how much this chapter depends on the time, energy, and ideas of our volunteers. Our Philadelphia Chapter is volunteer-led, and everything we enjoy—from leagues and events to communications, membership support, and special programs—happens because members step forward to help.

We currently have open board seats and volunteer opportunities for the upcoming term, and we need new members to join us in keeping the chapter strong. You do not need prior board experience—just a willingness to contribute, share ideas, and support the community that makes our chapter so special. The current board members are a wonderful group and will provide support and guidance.  

If you have enjoyed being part of LPGA Amateurs Philadelphia Chapter, please consider giving back by volunteering. Whether you have a little time or a lot, there is a place for you to help. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more or would like to talk about where your talents might fit best. You can email info@lpgaamateursphiladelphia.com or talk to a current board member.
