A MESSAGE FROM BEV REED 

President, LPGA Amateurs Spokane-Inland Northwest 

Holy Moly it has been hot out on the course this summer, especially the past couple of weeks. Yes, we may love golf, but some of us may be a little crazy playing in 100+ degrees. We will certainly have stories to tell. One of our LPGA Amateurs colleagues in Texas has a harrowing story she shared. Check it out.

There has been concern about safety at the forward tees on the number 2 tee box at Indian Canyon. The very steep hill from the cart path makes it a falling hazard. Safe conditions for all golfers are of paramount importance to us. Our board approved a letter of concern which was mailed to the Spokane director of Parks and Recreation  as well as to the city's golf manager. We've also reached out the Indian Canyon Ladies League and SAWGA for their support. Stay tuned for more information.

National has added a new feature to their web site called Virtual Community. Check it out. You enter using your LPGA Amateurs user name and password. This new feature looks pretty cool...a way to stay in touch with each other across town and around the country, along with great information and insights into what other chapters are doing.

Fall brings some of the best weather for golfing in our region. And it also brings us to the end of our league play. I hope you'll mark your calendars for our end-of-year event on Saturday, November 4. More details will follow soon. 

Enjoy!
Bev

Cindy Chadwick presents Gina Pinnock with her Eagle Pin.  This happened on hole 12 at Downriver!!  

Many of the chapter ladies traveled down to the Tri-Cities/Washington over the weekend of April 28-30 for a fun-filled action-packed weekend of golf, sunshine and lots of laughs and good times!!   

The 2023 season kickoff was held at Darcy's Restaurant on Saturday March 25th.   We had a great turnout with several new members!    We were fortunate to have as our guest speaker Margo Dreis.  Margo is the Shadle Park Girls Golf Coach, and  involved in so much more in our community.

In addition to the great food, we also had several raffles!  It was a good time for all and now we are excited to start the season!

Our chapter hosted a booth at the Golf Show and it was a great success!   There was a lot of interest and we hope to add many more new members as a result.  Thank you to all the ladies to volunteered at the booth !!!

At our End of Year Luncheon, we all had the opportunity to buy raffle tickets for the great golf towels that our member, Jessie Wuerst created.

Jessie kindly donated the proceeds, which amounted to $300, to our local food bank, 2nd Harvest. Pictured, is Jessie and our incoming President, Bev Reed, presenting the check to 2nd Harvest. Thank you to all who participated in making this gift possible.

You can now go to your profile and sign up for your membership renewal. We look forward to seeing you once again, for even more fun.  If you are someone who would like to join us for the first time, we welcome you with open arms. We are a fun-loving Chapter but we can take golf pretty seriously. Don't let that  put you off, as we have all levels of ability and welcome any level.
