Happy September!

So far we’ve seen a pleasant start to the Fall with some beautiful days for playing golf. Last weekend our chapter hosted our September event at Riverwinds in South Jersey. This is a chapter favorite course, and we had a great day of golf! The chapter will host our Season Closer at Spring Hollow on Saturday, October 18^th. We will start the morning with registration and an 8 am shotgun start. After golf, we will gather for a barbecue lunch to celebrate winners from the day and from throughout the season. Keep watching the newsletters for social events throughout late fall and winter!

Our two weeknight leagues wrapped up in August. Thank you to our league coordinators, Kasey Lucard and Pat Dollinger at PineCre st and Alison Nagle and Judy Simone at White Manor. These four did a wonderful job running the leagues and we appreciate all your hard work!

As we enter the fall golf season, keep in mind the active positing season for your handicap. The active season goes through November 14^th. If you are playing down south or somewhere else warm, you should check their posting season.

Pinecrest League Recap

The year started Wednesday, April 30, 2025, with a practice round and then the weekly competitions using the Modified Stableford Scoring system to determine each week’s winners.
The season ended on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, with an ABCD 4-person team scramble, 2 Closest To Pin winners, dinner and drinks, and an award ceremony for the 2025 LPGA-AM Philadelphia - Pinecrest Cup League Champion!!
What a great season we had!!! Unfortunately, we had a slow start with rainy weather for 3 weeks on Wednesday nights! Mother Nature still did not let up with nasty weather on our last 2 Wednesday nights! Another week, a group was unable to finish because of thunder, lightning and then rain!
The LPGA-Amateur PineCrest League has a fantastic group of ladies who are willing to play in all kinds of nasty weather! Three participants played in the rain during the final week of Stableford points for the 2025 PineCrest Cup, which determined the overall winner.
There was fierce competition throughout the season for the coveted PineCrest Cup! However, the 2025 LPGA-AM Philadelphia - PineCrest Cup Champion went to Nikki Costante who acquired 178 points of spectacular golf even with canceling 4 rounds because of weather!!!
The End of Year Scramble winners are Nikki Costante, Kristen O’Reilly, Laura Slowik and Diane Joyce posting a fabulous 34 Gross and 17 Net!!! Great playing ladies!!!
The two CTP winners are: Hole 11 – Beth Conduit - 6'10" & Hole 15 – Kathy Collins - 14'5". Great shots ladies!!!
Thank you, ladies, for another spectacular season with the LPGA-AM Phila PineCrest League!

Rules Corner

Etiquette

Starting your routine too late

Your buddy just finished out, so now it’s time for you to give your 8-footer the full 360-degree treatment, analyzing it from every angle. Wrong. You should have been doing that while everyone else was putting, and when it’s your turn, all that’s left is to give it a final look and go.
