A Message from Carol Lampard
President, LPGA Amateurs Spokane/Inland Northwest

 Warm greetings fellow golfers,
 
To those of you who were able to attend our Kickoff Luncheon, thank you for coming. I hope you enjoyed the afternoon as much as I did. The food was outstanding as usual, and the array of raffle prizes were terrific. It was great to hear from Patti Marquis, our guest speaker, who will be providing a couple of golf clinics in May. She is a great instructor, and her clinics are well worth your time. Many thanks to Karen Westberg who organized our luncheon and to those of you who provided raffle prizes and helped with setting up the venue. We are off to a great start to the year.
 
Looking at our weather forecast, Mother Nature seems to be playing games once again. Just when we think it’s warming up, not so fast. But, if you have enough clothing and some hand warmers, golf is here, and it feels so good. As said earlier, we are starting off our season with Patti Marquis’ golf clinics May 3^rd and 4^th (a great opportunity to shake off the cobwebs) and then first play day on Tuesday, May 6^th at Latah Creek and then Saturday May 10^th at The Links in Post Falls. May 12^th the first 9 Hole After Work, is scheduled for Indian Canyon.
 
Mark your calendars and look for a Golf Genius email later this month for sign-ups.
I’m looking forward to seeing many of you throughout our golf season.  Until then, take care of yourselves.
 
Carol

Over 60 ladies (including 20 new members)  attended the 2025 Kickoff on March 29 at the Trailhead Event Center in Liberty Lake.  It was a great time to meet up with friends again and hear about what's coming up for the season.  There were raffles and prizes, and great food!

We had an entertaining and informative presentation from Patti Marquis on golf etiquette!  We could relate to a lot of what she shared and will definitely remember her suggestions when we're out on the courses this year. 

Everyone left the kickoff excited about the upcoming season!!

The 2025 Golf Show at the Spokane Convention Center was a great success and lots of fun!  There was a lot of interest in membership and so we hope to see many new faces this coming season.  Thank you to all the volunteers who were there.
