What is Match Play May?

It's an opportunity to play and practice Match Play, just for fun. No one will be keeping track of results, just have fun and enjoy some matches!

Throughout May, we have a number of "Match Play May" events on the

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

On any of these event days, you can practice your Match Play skills, and learn more about Match Play. We'll arrange practice matches for you. OR... you can simply play for FUN on any of these play days – you'll indicate your choice during registration.

New to Match Play?

The May 1st play day will have an "Intro to Match Play Meeting" from 8:30am-9:30am for those who are wanting to learn about Match Play.

Still not sure? Tell your opponent you're new to Match Play, and let them help you learn while you play.

So, what's next?

During June and July we'll have qualifying events (held during our play days) to form our 2021 Lone Star Cup Team.

Brenda Stoddard, our Chapter's Director of Member Services, will be Captaining the 2021 team.

Throughout June and July, members can compete in 4 qualifying events to determine the 12 players and 2 alternates for the September event in Houston. Players of ALL HANDICAPS are needed for the team – actual matches will be played against players with similar handicaps, so this is a great tournament for everyone!
