Saturday August 21st at Westchester Golf Course.
The weather certainly gave us some challenges, it was just a tad HOT out there!! But it was dry, and we had roll!!
A big THANK YOU to sponsors Susan Finefrock, CFP® of Wealth Management Solutions, Andrea Nameche of Lifetime Financial of Central Ohio, and Solutions IV Boutique & MediSpa for their support!!
Kudos to all the winners!! There was some great golf out there and it took eleven (11) different scorecard playoffs to arrive at the Final Results. Way to go Ladies!!! There were 26 teams in the Optional Gross Skins game, and there were 7 skins (at $71 each) awarded to 6 teams! Enjoy your winnings!

The $2,500 Putting Contest sponsored by Susan Finefrock, CFP® of Wealth Management Solutions was crazy exciting!!

Friday September 17th
for the
Champions of Women Golf Tournament
BIG things are coming our way, Columbus LPGA Amateurs are pairing up with Ohio Dominican University and the City of Columbus to host the Champions of Women Tournament at Champions Golf Course September 17-19th 2021
We have been invited to assist ODU for their first Fall Champions of Women Tournament involving 10+ NCAA Division II Women’s College teams. This is an awesome opportunity for our Chapter to engage with the younger area women golfers, recruit new members and share golf experiences.
We will need 20 volunteers to help serve dinner on Friday night and a few starters/spotters to help throughout the tournament. So, dig out last years Sunset Gold golf shirts you have hidden in the back of your closet and sign up to help.
