Ready to pick a league? We have more than 100 slots open in 17 leagues waiting for players. Open Registration begins March 21 at noon for Chapter members who didn't rejoin a league during Early Registration. Starting April 5 you can sign up for a second league...or third...or fourth.

We have two new leagues, and new openings in established leagues.

Ballston Spa Thursday is our first league at a country club, thanks to new (actually, rejoined) member Cindy Walkanowski. League members can look forward to swift play on a delightfully challenging course (photo at right), going out at 5:30 right after the club's own women's league.

There are lots of choices in Schenectady on Mondays! In the evening, Schenectady Muni Monday PM is back in the lineup as a General league after a year off, and Stadium Monday 4:52 PM returns for Intermediate players. Schenectady Muni Monday AM has only one opening left, so registration on Thursday will be by check only; PayPal takes extra time, so removing it as an option keeps things fair. ( Stadium Monday 5:22 pm filled during Early Registration.)

Two longtime leagues that often sell out during Early Registration have slots left for Open Registration this year. If you enjoy friendly competition and the convenience of an Albany location, consider Capital Hills Thursday . (For the same course without competition but with plenty of friendly, check out Capital Hills Tuesday.) The good time gals at Van Patten Wednesday have room for additional fun members for the first time in several years.

For the full list of leagues, including Beginner and Advanced Beginner options, click on this link to the Chapter website's League Central page. On the league schedule, you'll find links in the left column to each league's information page and registration link.

Registration links will open starting at noon on Thursday, March 21. Each must be opened individually, so please stay patient and keep clicking.

Our online subbing system, Sub Central, will get up and running on the new website by the end of April. Earlier in April, we'll give you the opportunity to sign up as a Super Sub to get email notifications of openings.

Nearly a quarter of our 200+ Chapter members have signed up for our new Facebook group. Here's a good example of what it's good for: Melissa Taylor has posted a video and kicked off a lively comment thread about the new putting rule--leave the flagstick in or not?

You must be a dues-paying LPGA Amateurs member to join this group, but once you're in you can post prominently and without admin approval (unlike on our Facebook page). To join, go to this link. Any questions (like, is there a way to do this if I hate social media)? Email Chapter Communications Director Stephanie Brown at LPGAAmateursCRNY@gmail.com.
