Chapter News & Announcements
  • December Newsletter
    Happy December! I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope to see many of you at the Holiday Party at Bahama Breeze on December 5th. 

    Your chapter board met in late November to begin planning for the 2025 golf season. To help the board better plan chapter events we are asking members to complete a short 7 question survey. It should take you less than 5 minutes to complete. The survey link is below. We appreciate your feedback! 

    We will start the New Year by returning to TopGolf in January followed by Rules and Handicap social events in February and March. The events committee is hard at work scheduling our monthly golf events and has a great calendar put together. Keep an eye on your email as we head into the new year for more information about winter events and our tee off event in April.  

    The Chapter is adding a winter, indoor league to our league offerings. The league will be 8 weeks long at Golf Galaxy in Berwyn. Registration will be limited to 8 2025 chapter members but we will have a substitution list of members who are interested in filing in if a league member has to miss a week. More details will follow. 
       

    I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season! 

    Young Professional Social at Indoor Golf Club

    On November 14th, a group of young professional golfers got together at Indoor Golf Club in Fort Washington. After a short presentation covering basics on the rules, etiquette and dress code for golf, the group mingled and hit a few golf balls on the simulators. It was a great night promoting the game of golf to a mix of newer golfers and women who are looking to find additional opportunities to play. Thank you to Philly Chapter member Christine Lee and The Main Line Group of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, for helping plan and sponsoring the event! Indoor Golf Club was a very unique, members-only indoor golf simulator space. If you are in the Fort Washington area and are interested in a space the practice inside, it is worth looking into.

    Happy October!

After golf, we gathered together to present prizes for the day, Traveling Match Play winners, and season-long awards. Read more about our season long winners below!

     

    The Philadelphia Chapter hosted two social events, eight golf events, and four leagues this season. Thank you to the Events Committee, League Coordinators, and the rest of the Board for making 2024 such a successful year! Thank you to everyone who participated in events and leagues. We are still planning additional social events for the remainder of 2024 and into the start of 2025. Keep reading our Chapter newsletters and sign up emails to keep up with our calendar of events.

    League Recap

     

    2024 LPGA-Amateur PineCrest League – End of Year Summary

     

    It is hard to believe that the Wednesday evening 2024 LPGA PineCrest League Season has come to an end!  The year started Wednesday, April 24, 2024, with weekly competitions using the Modified Stableford Scoring system to determine each week’s winners.  The season ended on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, with an ABCD team scramble, two closest to the pin winners, dinner and drinks, and an award ceremony for the 2024 PineCrest Cup Champion - LPGA Amateurs Phila!!

     

    What a great season we had!  I believe we only had one week when the sirens blew, and we were called off the course because of thunder and lightning!  The LPGA-Amateur PineCrest League has a fantastic group of ladies who are willing to play in all kinds of nasty weather!

     

    There was fierce competition throughout the season for the coveted Pinecrest Cup!  The 2024 LPGA PineCrest Cup Champion LPGA-Amateurs Phila went to Debbie Young who acquired 253 points of spectacular golf!

    Spring Hollow Golf

    We had a great season in 2024 at Spring Hollow Golf Course.  On average we filled up tee times starting at 4:00 ending at 6:00.  Typical turn out was roughly 15 to 20 ladies.  Some just came out to golf and others stayed and enjoyed drinks and dinner at the The Grille which in it's original form was a dairy barn.

    We were welcomed every week by their new pro Jason Stackhouse who had our carts awaiting with our names and tee times for us to load up our clubs.

    We did a 50/50 every week and had a drawing at month end.  The winners were:

    May       Diane Vervaet

    June      Judy Simone

    July      Judy Simone

    August    Kim Whittington

    September

    Michelle Ruppert Daly

    We are ending the season with a little gathering the 24th of October in The Grille where I will announce two prizes. Stableford and MIP.

    Stableford - Christine Dunleavy.  71 points (to par + 269).

    Great season, only had two rain outs so all in all a ton of fun and laughter.

    Rules Corner

    Posting of scores in Pennsylvania ends on November 14.

    This is only for rounds played here.

    If you are playing somewhere with a year round season, go ahead and post that score.

    ______________________________________________________________


  • September News 2024

    Happy September!
    The start of September has definitely felt like fall. Fall golf brings cooler weather but also challenges with leaves and end of season course maintenance. The USGA has a great review of the rules around how to deal with leaves and other common Rules situations you might encounter during fall golf. You can read more here.  

    The Chapter’s Handicap Committee has put together a Handicap Index Reminder note that you can read about below. Handicap season in Pennsylvania goes through November 14th. Remember to continue to timely post your PA golf scores until then. After November 14th, if you play in a different state be sure to check to see if it is active handicap posting-season in that state. For example, Florida’s posting-season is year round so you should post a FL score even if it’s the middle of the winter.

    The Chapter’s end of season event will take place at Bella Vista on October 12th. We will plan to gather in their Grill Room after golf. Look for more information and details to come!

    Handicaps 
    Handicap index reminders:

    Maintaining an accurate golf handicap index enhances the enjoyment of the game of golf and allows the following:

     Measures a player's ability relative to par
     Allows golfers of different abilities to compete fairly
     Indicates how many strokes above or below par a player is capable of playing
     Monitors progress and skill improvements

    As a reminder to our members, the Handicap Committee wants to provide you with some guidance related to posting your scores. Please take care to ensure you are posting:

     In a timely manner (on the day you play). Posting after the day you play will not take into account course or weather conditions for the date of play
     Using the correct course with slope/index. There are cases where course names are the same in different towns, cities, counties or states.  
     For the correct number of holes (9 vs. 18)
     For the correct part of the course if only playing 9 holes (back vs. front)
     For the correct tees that were used for play
     
    All the above impact your handicap index and will ensure that it is calculated accurately to reflect your actual playing ability. Mistakes do happen and can be corrected but you need to contact your handicap service provider in a timely manner to review and make adjustments. If you have a handicap index through the LPGA Amateurs Philadelphia Chapter, please email gcirrgang@comcast.net and janechengolf@gmail.com when an error is made and needs attention.
    LPGA Amateurs Handicap Services Reminder 

    A Valid USGA handicap index is required to compete in any LPGA Amateurs events and be eligible for prizes. Please take this time to verify that you have a service provider to establish and maintain your handicap index.

    The LPGA Amateurs Philadelphia Chapter is registered as a GAP member club. We are officially a service provider that is able to host and maintain USGA handicap indexes through the Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN). l If you are interested in securing this service through our Chapter, please click here to see how on our website.

    Etiquette 

    Starting your routine too late

    Your buddy just finished out, so now it’s time for you to give your 8-footer the full 360-degree treatment, analyzing it from every angle. Wrong. You should have been doing that while everyone else was putting, and when it’s your turn, all that’s left is to give it a final look and go.




  • July newsletter

    Welcome to July! I hope you all have been staying cool and hydrated during these hot few weeks. We had a wonderful turnout for our event at Honeybrook with over 30 members and guests participating.

We are entering the second half of golf season in PA but there are still plenty of league and weekend events!

    This Tuesday, July 16th, our Chapter is hosting a free webinar with Debbie O’Connell. Debbie has combined her extensive golf expertise with her master certifications in life coaching to be a leading expert golf mindset. Debbie was the keynote speaker at the LPGA Amateurs Members Celebration in Las Vegas last year. I heard great things about her presentation there and I am looking forward to getting to hear her speak on Tuesday. You can register for her masterclass here. The webinar begins at 7:00pm and will be about one hour.        

    The Mystery Bus event will take place on August 11th. We will meet up at the Park and Ride in King of Prussia and a bus will take us to a surprise course. Your event chairs have been busy working on lots of details to make this a great day. I am excited to find out where we are going this year! There have been Golf Genius issues with the links for this event. Thank you for your patience for those who tried to register early on and couldn’t. Please use the updated email and link to register.

    Some Etiquette this month

    Should you post your golf scores?

    • Many golfers avoid posting their scores because they think it will negatively affect their handicap or they don’t want to be judged by their peers. But the truth is, posting your scores is the only way to get an accurate handicap and to track your progress over time. Plus, it’s a great way to hold yourself accountable and stay motivated to improve.

  • June News

    Welcome to June! The Philly Chapter’s three weeknight leagues and the traveling match play league all got well underway during May. The turnout and participation in all 4 leagues has been wonderful. There are still plenty of weekly league nights to play if you are still interested in joining a league. The chapter held a weekday event at Penn Oaks during May. The beautiful course and nice meal afterwards made for a wonderful day.

    June is full of golf events. The month started with a group of Philadelphia golfers traveling to Bethlehem Golf Club for the Lehigh Invitational. Our next event is June 15th at Honeybrook, a chapter favorite. The Chapter will end the month on June 30th with an event at Neshanic Valley Golf Club. See more information below and register here.   

    Be sure to mark your calendars for this year’s Mystery Bus Golf event on August 11th. We will meet at a designated spot and a bus will take us to a surprise course for the day. This event is one of my and many other chapter members favorites.

    Chapter League Registration:
    Detailed instructions on how to register for leagues and registration links are provided below. Please read and follow the instructions to successfully register for 1 or more of our Chapter's leagues, keeping a few things in mind: 
     
    • Everyone needs to register for the leagues even if they've participated in the same league before. Each year, a new league portal with updated dates, weekly round sign-ups, games, information, etc. is created so registering for the new league each year ensures the most seamless way to receive communications from the league coordinators and to enter scores in Golf Genius for the different weekly games. 
    • Registering for the leagues requires login validation via your active LPGA Amateurs Philadelphia Chapter membership. Weekly league play is a chapter specific benefit and validating with your active membership automatically lets our league coordinators know you are a member of the Philadelphia Chapter.
    • Everyone must register on their own; you cannot register a fellow active member. 
    • Registering for the leagues is required in order to sign up for weekly tee times.
    • We welcome guests to try out our leagues twice before we ask that they become a member of the LPGA Amateurs Philadelphia Chapter! Guests, which include those who have not renewed their membership yet, will need to contact the league coordinators directly to sign up for tee times since they will not have access to do this on their own.
     
    For White Manor, Pinecrest, and/or Spring Hollow league registration, please follow these directions for a successful registration:
     
    • The league registration links will take you to the league portal, which is set up through Golf Genius. Do not sign in. If you are already signed in, log out of Golf Genius and click the league registration link again. Registration via the Golf Genius app on your phone will not work because you will already be signed in to Golf Genius.
    • Click the grey "Register" button (this is located either on the left side or the bottom of the page, depending on your browser)
    • Validate with your LPGA Amateurs credentials (not Golf Genius credentials)
    • Complete required fields on registration page (i.e. Name, cell phone, LPGA Am ID, etc.)
    • Select box to acknowledge Golf Genius software policy
    • Click the grey “Register” button in the lower right corner of page
    • Await confirmation email that you have successfully registered for the league



    For those who already have a Golf Genius account login and password, that's all you need to do!
    For those who do not have a Golf Genius account login and password yet (this is usually for new LPGA Amateurs members or those who have never created a Golf Genius account), please follow these additional directions to complete your registration:
    • After receiving confirmation email that you have successfully registered for the league, please contact Becca Proetto rebeccacummings251@gmail.com and let her know for which league you successfully registered, but don't have a Golf Genius account
    • Becca will have an email sent to you from Golf Genius, which will have a unique link allowing you to create your Golf Genius account with a temporary password. Keep an eye out for this email and make sure to also check your spam folder
    • After accessing the unique link, you will be asked to set a new password for your new Golf Genius account
    • Having a Golf Genius account will allow you to use the Golf Genius app to receive notifications from the league coordinators, enter scores live during events and weekly league play, and also follow the live Leaderboard to see who is winning!
    If you have trouble registering for any of the leagues, please contact the league coordinator directly so that we can assist you as needed.

    The Traveling Match Play League
    League Coordinator: Susan Hunsicker    215-576-5473 (landline) 215-206-6139 (cell; texting is better than calling this number)  golfwithsusan@aol.com
     

    The Traveling Match Play League is a great opportunity to hone your match play skills, meet new people, and play new courses. In match play, you compete head-to-head with another golfer, one hole at a time. Your total score doesn’t matter. It’s a wonderful format for the inconsistent among us – and who can say their golf game IS consistent? Everyone who joins the league will be assigned up to four matches to play. The exact format will depend on how many sign up.

    For each match, you and your opponent will decide where to play and when, within a set time window, usually including three weekends. To encourage players to complete their matches, points will be awarded for playing within the designated time frame. There will also be points based on the outcome of the match. The league usually begins in early May and runs through July. The only requirement is that you have an official, verifiable handicap, such as through LPGA Amateurs or GHIN. So sign up now. Golf season is here!
