Tapatio Springs 1 - Oct 28, 2020
Oct.23-25 we had 30 ladies (and a few token men) head to the beautiful Tapatio Springs Resort for a fun weekend of golf and shenanigans. Big winners were: Sally Bowman (low gross), Spencer Unangst (low net) and Nancy Lubecker (3 out of 4 closest to the pins). The resort made sure everyone stayed safe and socially distanced.

Vaaler Creek Recap - Jul 2, 2020

Our first fun-play tournament of the season was held at Vaaler Creek Golf Club. We had 33 ladies from the Austin Chapter and 17 from San Antonio! This was a 4-person modified shamble event. Congratulations to all the winners, especially our lovely Best-Dressed Team of Lara Enzor, Kim Golden, Diane Lee and Gwen Neal. With all of the precautions that had to be negotiated due to COVID-19 a special thanks goes out to the organizing committee Judi Blue, Wendy Malloch and Cheri Hisaw.

Girls Golf - Jun 20, 2020
Each month our chapter helps out the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program through The First Tee of Greater Austin by playing a few holes of golf with young ladies as they are beginning their golf careers. The ladies instruct the girls on proper etiquette and give them some tips on techniques for different shots but mostly just support them and give them a positive experience. Thank you to the ladies who volunteer their time for this worthwhile cause.

2020 Kick-off - Mar 12, 2020

What's the second most favorite pastime of golfers? Gambling of course! We kicked off our 2020 season at Flintrock Falls Golf Club with a presentation on the new World Handicap System from our handicap chair Melinda Hipp and then dove right in to the dice and cards! Our silent auction and 50/50 raffle raised $500 for the Chapter.

Aim Point Clinic 2 - Mar 11, 2020

Our AimPoint clinic in February taught us how to read the slope of the green and decide where to aim our ball in order to sink more putts. Hope to see some lower scores from these ladies in the future! If there is enough interest we may do this clinic again in the Fall.

2020 Meet and Greet - Jan 19, 2020

Our first event of the 2020 season was a Meet and Greet for old and new members held at Cover 3 downtown. Our new board was introduced and the schedule of events for this season was released. Guests could order their own food and create interesting cocktails at the Mimosa Bar. We all had a great time and hopefully we got some new members signed up for this season!
