President's Message
Dear LPGA Women Who Play DC Members,
Goodness, all that rain we got last week and again on Tuesday night! With golf courses drying out, we can finally continue with our leagues and events.
Meanwhile, there are important upcoming events:
Our big Chapter Championship tournament is also around the corner. It will be July 7th at Musket Ridge. Check out the details below and sign up! You can have a foursome and compete as a scramble team, or individually as a stroke player. Also, you don't have to compete at all, but instead just play casually and have fun. As always, we are looking for volunteers!
Keep checking our website for more details on all upcoming events. Please sign up for leagues if you haven't already.
And always, always - have fun at the golf course!
Sincerely,
Snjezana Arthur
President

Be a Sponsor of LPGA Women Who Play DC
Would your products or services appeal to influential female consumers?
LPGA Women Who Play is an initiative born through an alliance between the LPGA Foundation and the Executive Women's Golf Association (EWGA). For almost 30 years, the EWGA connected thousands of women across the U.S. and beyond to learn, play, and enjoy golf for business and fun.
The DC Metro Chapter has close to 400 members in DC, Maryland and Virginia area. Sponsorship offers an opportunity to gain the attention of accomplished, decision-making female consumers.
Would direct access to such women increase the effectiveness of your sales and marketing efforts?
If the answer is yes, we invite you to consider a sponsorship with the DC Metro Chapter of the LPGA Women Who Play. Each level comes with unique opportunities for increasing awareness of you, your organization and your products or services.

2018 Play for P.I.N.K. Golf Tournament
Sponsor a Hole
Our annual Play for P.I.N.K. (PfP) Tournament is four months away!
Sponsoring a hole is a great way to show support. It is also a great way to advertise your business (if applicable), or make a tribute to a loved one who has been touched by this disease. The cost to sponsor a hole is $100. This price encompasses the sign with the donor's name, your company logo or a message, and five 50/50 raffle tickets if playing in the golf tournament. The raffle tickets will be provided upon check-in on the day of the golf tournament.
To register, go to the LPGA Women Who Play website (
www.ewgadc.org

Be sure you have spelled all information correctly. You can view all 18 holes of the golf course on the Westfields Golf Club website (
