  • The Lone Star Cup Returns to Houston!

    The competition was fierce, the weather was on our side, and the Texas golf spirit was alive and well at the 2025 Lone Star Cup in Fort Worth at the Rockwood Golf Club! Over a thrilling weekend of match play and camaraderie, teams from across Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico brought their best. But in the end, it was Houston who rose to the top and claimed the Cup!

    From the first tee shot to the final putt, Houston showed grit, grace, and unstoppable team spirit. With clutch performances in both team and individual matches, our players delivered under pressure and outpaced strong competitors from every corner of the region.

    The sportsmanship displayed throughout the weekend was just as impressive as the golf. While every chapter brought passion and talent to the course, Houston’s consistency, heart, and hustle made all the difference.

    Congratulations, to our Houston ladies! You’ve made your mark in Lone Star Cup history and raised the bar for 2026!

    A big thank you to the players, captains, organizers, and volunteers who made this event a huge success. Until next year, keep swinging!

    Our Houston Players Shined Across Chapters!

    While the Houston Chapter proudly took home the Lone Star Cup this year, our chapter’s impact went far beyond just the winning team. Several of our incredible Houston players stepped up to support other chapters as players and alternates—and they didn’t just show up, they showed out.

    On Saturday, every single one of our Houston players on other teams WON their individual match, proving that Houston’s golf game travels well, no matter the team colors.

    • Austin: Julia Karnezis; Albuquerque: Christine Jou, Sandra Kestner, Sandy Scurria, Rhonda Weatherwax, and Shon Bower 

    We’re so proud of how these players represented our chapter—with skill, class, and a spirit of collaboration. Whether competing for Houston or stepping in to help other teams, they exemplified what the Lone Star Cup is all about.

    Way to go, ladies—you’ve made Houston proud!

  • Houston Wins the 2023 Lone Star Cup

     

    Houston are the 2023 Champions – we won the Lone Star Cup!

    Since 2002, several LPGA Amateur chapters in Texas and the surrounding southern states have met up annually, for a weekend of match play to award the Lone Star Cup (LSC) to the winning team chapter of twelve players. This year, the Houston team travelled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana – where we played six other teams represented by members from the Austin, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Denton County, Fort Worth and San Antonio chapters. We like to think of the LSC as the Solheim Cup of the south….

    The short story – is that Houston are the 2023 Champions – we won the Lone Star Cup! The LSC belongs to every member of the Houston chapter until the next time we all meet again to battle it out. Y’all helped make our team stronger and we felt your support throughout the LSC season: from every tryout match, to helping us fill out our practice matches, to cheering us on Facebook, and wishing us good luck before we left for the trip.
