UPCOMING EVENTS

Message from the President:

It is hard to believe our 2024 golf season is almost behind us. Where did the time go? I hope you all had a great time playing, socializing, and participating in our events.

The Chapter Championship was held on July 28th. We had a great turnout for both stroke players and scramble teams. A good time was had by all, and we received some great feedback to continue this event in following years. Congratulations to our winners listed below!

  • Overall Low Gross: Jan Tomasiewicz; Overall Low Net: Marge Zietchick
  • 1st Flight Low Gross: Robyn Lindsay; Low Net: Grace Tshanakas
  • 2nd Flight Low Gross: Heather Brocious; Low Net: Michelle Lynch
  • 3rd Flight Low Gross: Pat Bringewatt; Low Net: Carol Owens
  • Scramble Winners: Stephanie Terrone, Julie Frolish, Kim Maycott & Lisette Ditters

Our Season Closer this year will be a Play for P.I.N.K event, to raise funds for breast cancer research. Join us on Sunday, October 13th at Farmstead Golf and Country Club for this final golf event of the year. Registration is open so sign up today. 

As you know, the success of our Chapter depends on having our members volunteer their time and talents. The events, leagues, social activities, and off-season get-togethers which we offer take a lot of planning, organizing, and work on the back end. If you don’t realize or notice, that means our Board and committee chairs are doing a fantastic job of making it seem effortless!  I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our volunteers for their hard work and dedication.

After serving as your Chapter President for the past three years, I will be stepping down from my position at the end of October. It has been my honor to represent our Chapter, and I look forward to seeing all of you at future events and on the course!

Tips for Playing Golf in the Fall

Do you enjoy playing golf in the fall with all the beautiful colors and cooler temperatures? And yet also find it a little more challenging with the piles of leaves hiding your ball, the start of construction projects on the course and earlier sunsets?  A USGA article provides tips to make your rounds more enjoyable! Check out Turning Over a New Leaf: Common Fall Occurrences on the Course that is available in the LPGA Amateurs Virtual Community.

2024 Member Referral Program

Our 2024 "Chapter Member Referral Awards Program" is in full swing! Thank you to all our members that have provided referrals so far! So far, for the 2024 season, we have 71 new members, and over fifty percent have been member referrals. 

Kudos to Jean Parmelli, our super recruiter, who has already referred 14 new members this year! Although it might be difficult to catch Jean for first prize in our Awards Program, everyone who refers a new member still has a shot at a prize! So spread the word and invite your friends to join our fabulous chapter.

This program has been created to show our appreciation to those referring members and is in addition to the "Member Get a Member" drive by National.  Remember…the more robust our Chapter becomes, the more events we can offer at more competitive prices! If you enjoy our Chapter, invite your friends to share the fun! All members with referrals are entered into our drawing at the end of the season. The more members you refer the greater your chances for a prize!
