  • MESSAGE FROM OUR OUTGOING PRESIDENT

    Dear LPGA Amateurs Denton County Members,

    As I step down as President, I want to take a moment to say how much fun it has been to help start this chapter and lead it over the past three years. Watching our group grow—from an idea into a thriving, connected community of women who share a love for golf—has been one of the most rewarding experiences I could have imagined.

    I’ve loved every event, every round, and every laugh shared along the way. It’s been such a joy to see friendships formed, confidence built, and our chapter spirit shine brighter each season.

    Although I’m passing the torch, I’m not going anywhere! I’ll still be around to play, cheer you on, and enjoy more great golf and good times with all of you.

    Thank you all for your support, enthusiasm, and friendship—it’s truly been an honor to serve as your President. Here’s to many more fairways, birdies, and fun times ahead!

    With gratitude and love,

    Sherri Elliott
    President (retiring)

    Meet Our Incoming President – Amy Knapp!
    Please welcome Amy Knapp as the new President of the LPGA Amateurs Denton County Chapter!

    Amy has been playing golf for about five and a half years. Originally from Montana, she moved to Texas four years ago so her retired husband could enjoy more time on the golf course. While Amy still works full-time from home as an insurance agent, she quickly realized she needed a way to meet new people and make friends in her new community. That’s when she joined the LPGA Amateurs Dallas Chapter and their Wednesday night group at Luna Vista in 2021. Soon after, she added the Fort Worth Chapter to her list of golf adventures—and when she and her husband bought a home in Argyle, it only made sense to join the Denton County Chapter too!

    Amy is passionate about growing the game and welcoming anyone who wants to play or learn. She believes golf is a game of integrity, resilience, and fun. While she jokes that she won’t be the next Nelly Korda or Charley Hull (with her current 19+ handicap), she knows that nothing beats a day on the course with friends—complete with good swings, bad swings, miraculous shots, laughter, and maybe a little birdie juice along the way.

    We’re thrilled to have Amy leading the Denton County Chapter and can’t wait to see the energy and enthusiasm she brings to our community!
