Pace of Play Tip
|
If you and your cart-mate's ball is relatively in the same area, park between your balls and both of you get out to hit.

I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.

President's Message: 2019 an Exciting Year for Women's Golf
I am privileged to be President of the MnMetro Chapter in 2019-looking to be an exciting year for women's golf. We often hear "I don't have time for golf", but I along with many of our members know the value of golf as a great game combining sport, exercise, friendship and connections. A major benefit of LPGA Amateurs is to save you time by having golf setup and ready to play: leagues, events, clinics, and extra/pickup rounds. If you or a friend are new to golf, we can help you get basic skills and have a league for newer golfers.
The LPGA Amateurs merger is complete and we expect to see more benefits moving forward. Our enthusiastic board and volunteers have started planning for next year - we NEED YOUR IDEAS AND HELP!
- Members: we are a member-based organization looking to grow and continue to provide more golf leagues, events, and activities for our diverse group of women. Please introduce a friend or colleague to our Chapter. We can help new golfers get a good start to the game.
- Volunteers: our Chapter has no paid staff and runs on volunteer power. We are always looking for new volunteers for activities ranging from running committees to single events. I encourage all members to help us with at least one event in 2019.
- Sponsors: thank you to all our 2018 sponsors throughout the year. Their contributions help offset costs, offer discounts and provide prizes. We are always looking for new sponsors, so if your company is interested please let us know.
I have been a member for over 20 years (in MN & OH) and value meeting people I would likely never have met and expanding a circle of contacts through golf. Please schedule some time to volunteer with our Chapter 2019.
