Golf Rules
A link to current USGA rules can be found HERE. And if you want to brush up on your golf etiquette, we recommend:
Pace of Play
Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Don’t wait until then to select your club or get the yardage.
Quote of the Month
A competitor will find a way to win. Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves just that much harder. Quitters take bad breaks and use them as reasons to give up. It's all a matter of pride.

August 6th and 7th
Here’s an event you won’t want to miss. Come watch some of the best LPGA players to ever play the game: Nancy Lopez, Laura Davies, Pat Bradley, Rosie Jones, Pat Hurst, Julie Inkster, Michelle Redman, and Jane Geddes. They only play a few events a year, so we are very fortunate to have them play here. As an LPGA Amateur Member, you and a guest will be able to attend free of charge. Just present your Membership card, and you’re in!  These ladies still play a great game and love having a gallery to support them. So put it on your calendar!!!      

The Chapter will be represented by being hole marshals. Thank you to all who volunteered and to Kristi Peterson for taking the lead.
