Letter from President Amanda
Dear Members,

I sincerely hope this letter finds you, your families and your loved ones safe and well.

As I filled my mug of coffee this morning, I decided not to watch the latest breaking news and catch up with the all the latest numbers and projections, but instead take a moment to reflect on all the things I am grateful for. While experiencing my attitude for gratitude, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the Columbus Chapter of LPGA Amateurs and that all of you have the confidence and faith in me to lead such a warm and supportive group of women.

It’s March 31, 2020 and tonight I had plans to address all of you at our annual kick-off to our season. This is one night for the last 5 years I have really looked forward to. Reuniting with all those I haven’t seen or been in touch with since October, celebrating our strong Chapter of the LPGA Amateurs, bidding on a round at a private course and sharing our hopes for a season of great golf weather, longer drives, straighter putts and lower handicaps.

Leagues Update
On Tuesday, 3/31 the Mayor announced the continued closure of all of the Columbus Recreation and Parks facilities through  at least  May 1st. This closure includes all six of the City owned golf courses. While other courses in the area are allowing play, the current need for social distancing is not conducive to league play. Our Golf Services Director, Laura Seed, is in contact with the courses and will establish the schedule for each league as soon as we have a firm date.  

Despite these challenges signup for leagues has been strong and we remain committed to having a great season whenever we start. Rest assured if our season is abbreviated you will be issued a refund for any weeks not scheduled.

2020 QuaranTee-Off
Your Board of Directors is currently working on a virtual event so participants can access the specific information they need for membership, league sign-ups, and to join in the Prize Drawing & Silent Auction. Watch for the event information and links coming soon .
