President's Message

Dear LPGA Amateur Golf Association DC Members,

Seriously, rain? Rain pretty much the whole season?

As we go into the fall, let's hope we get some of our usual dry, cool weather, where we can enjoy the game of golf in the most beautiful settings with leaves changing color.

September was a busy month and out of four DC Match Cup teams, the Beltway Bandits advanced to the finals in Austin, TX in early November. We'll be rooting for you! We'll also be rooting for our rock star team that dominated the regional championship that will be in the finals in Florida in a couple of weeks.

As the season is slowly winding down, we are putting together a volunteer appreciation event on November 18th. Let me just publicly recognize how much work goes into putting all these chapter events together, starting with weekly leagues, Saturday events, tournaments.... None of this could be done without all of the amazing people who step up and organize these outings so the rest of us can just show up and play. As a Board Member and President, all I can say is: none of the ideas we come up with matter without people implementing them and putting them together. So thanks to all of you who make our chapter and events amazing!

And for the rest of the members, please always feel free to contact us with any suggestions, concerns or comments. All of your input is important to make this great chapter even greater.

Let the fall begin!

Sincerely,

Snjezana Arthur

President
