Jul 13, 2024, 17:07 PM

Welcome to July! I hope you all have been staying cool and hydrated during these hot few weeks. We had a wonderful turnout for our event at Honeybrook with over 30 members and guests participating. On June 30^th members traveled up to Northern New Jersey to play Neshanic Valley Golf Course with members of the Northern NJ Chapter. We are entering the second half of golf season in PA but there are still plenty of league and weekend events!

This Tuesday, July 16^th, our Chapter is hosting a free webinar with Debbie O’Connell. Debbie has combined her extensive golf expertise with her master certifications in life coaching to be a leading expert golf mindset. Debbie was the keynote speaker at the LPGA Amateurs Members Celebration in Las Vegas last year. I heard great things about her presentation there and I am looking forward to getting to hear her speak on Tuesday. You can register for her masterclass here. The webinar begins at 7:00pm and will be about one hour.

The Mystery Bus event will take place on August 11^th. We will meet up at the Park and Ride in King of Prussia and a bus will take us to a surprise course. Your event chairs have been busy working on lots of details to make this a great day. I am excited to find out where we are going this year! There have been Golf Genius issues with the links for this event. Thank you for your patience for those who tried to register early on and couldn’t. Please use the updated email and link to register. Reach out to a member of the board if you are still having issues registering. We will head to Riverwinds in West Deptford, NJ on September 14^th. Our golf season events will wrap up October 12^th at Bella Vista in Gilbertsville, PA.

Thanks!

Rules Corner

Some Etiquette this month

Should you post your golf scores?

Many golfers avoid posting their scores because they think it will negatively affect their handicap or they don’t want to be judged by their peers. But the truth is, posting your scores is the only way to get an accurate handicap and to track your progress over time. Plus, it’s a great way to hold yourself accountable and stay motivated to improve.
