Such a wonderful EOY getaway for the 24 ladies who were able to gather in Broken Bow and play in our 2 day scramble tournament!

Gifted with beautiful weather, we experienced loads of fun! Highlights include Golf at Cedar Creek Golf Course, visiting Girls Gone Wine, winning a bit of cash at the casinos, and gatherings at our lovely Tranquil Days Cabin near Hochatown. It all began with fabulous entertainment by The Asphalt Cowboys on Friday night at Mountain Fork Brewery!

Congratulations to our tournament winners: 

1st Place - Leigh Ann Lewis, Beth Krauss, Christi Sessions and Amy Armstrong

2nd Place - Elaine  Scalapino, Brittany Wehunt, Rossana Boyd and Jocelyn McMurray.

A few highlights from the trip:

Congratulations to our 2024 Lonestar Cup team!!

Hard work and team effort accomplished a 3rd place tie, and we are so proud of you all for representing our chapter in a big way!  This is our second year to participate and we look forward to next year's tournament, and to building friendships along the journey.

The memories caught in pictures do not do justice to the amount of work put in, the laughter that was shared, and the crazy amount of fun enjoyed by all.  Congratulation again ladies!

I am  so excited to start our new year as your President! This year we have lots of fun golf, happy hours and events scheduled.  We have a-lot of new volunteers we will be introducing at our Kick Off March 7th, if you have not registered for that, please do so now. It is going to be so much fun, and we will have a brochure with dates and events going on throughout this year. We will also be having our Lone Star Cup team tryouts in March. Our theme for this year is “Gone Clubbin” so grab your clubs and join us as much as possible this year. We will have play days for beginner golfers combined with Dallas and Fort Worth new golfers, as well as competitive and fun play for everyone.

Our Happy Hours are the best and we have a great group planning those! You are always welcome to bring a friend to any of our events as well. If you have any ideas for events, or want to assist in one time event planning please reach out and let me know. We love volunteers! I am looking forward to meeting ALL of you this year. Let’s make our second year the BEST YEAR YET!

Hey Lady Golfers!!

It's that time to build our LSC Team.....What is the Lone Star Cup (LSC)? The LSC is a match play tournament among the LPGA Amateur Golf Association chapters from Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. The 2024 LSC tournament will be held June 20-22 at Grapevine Golf Course. (June 20th is a team-required practice day) The tournament is a two-day TEAM event modeled after the Solheim Cup. Day 1 of the tournament is team match play (four-ball and alternate shot) while Day 2 is singles match play. This tournament travels between chapters and the Dallas Chapter has the honor of hosting in 2024!  Denton County Chapter's team will consist of 12 players with hopefully 2 alternates. 

 It is worth noting, there are costs associated with this tournament, such as registration fees, travel expenses, team outfits, etc. Please see below for more details.

*Estimated* expenses for the event: $325 Registration Fee (includes 3 days of golf, Welcome Dinner and Awards luncheon)

PLUS Hotel (Not required as it is local this year)

PLUS 2 Team shirts (Required to purchase)

 If we have enough interest, tryouts will take place in March and April.  More information will follow if tryouts are needed.

A link to register for this tournament is posted on our events section.

We finished a great first year with an awesome turnout. Thank you to those who were able to attend. To all that were not able to attend - we missed you, and to each of our 8 new members..  Welcome, we are excited to have you join us!

In addition to the taco bar, drink tickets (to get you started), raffle, and goody bags, we had a wonderful time getting to know each other better and sharing some always welcome laughter.

Paula Bradley created and presented a slide-show of our year in review, and it was hilariously entertaining! Thank you Paula for that addition to our celebration.

Sherri Elliott spoke on details covering our past year, gave a heart-felt thank you to all our volunteers, discussed ideas for next year's events, and shared her vision of what we hope to achieve next year as a collaborative team/group.

A wide variety of gift baskets donated by members served as auction items, and we raised an impressive $1500.  The monies raised will be invested back into our group in ways that will benefit us as a whole.  In addition to funds raised through fund raising events, we have 9 new sponsors and we are truly excited to have them individually supporting us!

Our nine new sponsors are:
