    3. In Memoriam: Pat Solberg

      A message from the Board President,
      It is with deep sadness and a profound sense of loss that the LPGA Amateurs Seattle Chapter Board and I share that our longtime member and friend, Pat Solberg, has passed away. Pat was an inspiration to many of the old EWGA and LPGA members long before the Golf Sisters' came into existence. 

      Pat passed away peacefully on March 8th, just weeks after celebrating her 90th birthday in January. She never fully recovered from the heart attack she suffered at Harbour Pointe Golf Course on opening day in April 2022 – a day many of us will never forget. Pat collapsed on the 7th hole while pushing her cart toward the green. Kim Atkinson and Kathy Ostrove, who had recently completed CPR training, immediately stepped in and performed continuous CPR for more than 14 minutes until emergency responders arrived. Their swift, selfless actions later earned them recognition as American Red Cross Heroes. Their courage gave us the gift of more precious time with Pat.

      Pat was part of our Seattle Chapter for many years, and her presence—equal parts laughter, grit, and sincerity—left a mark on every league night, every event, and every person who had the privilege of knowing her.

      Monday evenings at the Nile League were always Pat’s favorite when she was still able to play. Pat was also a proud and fierce competitor on our Tee Hawks Match team from 2014 through 2019. She played with remarkable stamina, unwavering integrity, and a love for the rules that kept us all on our toes. She often told us she was in her early 70s, but we knew she was stretching the truth with a smile. She was competing—and thriving—well into her late 70s and early 80s. Her determination inspired us all.

      Pat will be deeply missed—on the course, in our leagues, and in the quiet moments where her humor, strength, and spirit once filled the space. She was one of us, and her absence will be felt for a long time to come.

      May she rest in peace, and may we carry her memory with us every time we tee it up and finish at hole 19.
