CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS

It is time to renew your membership!


The LPGA Amateurs is pleased to announce that there will be no increase in dues for the year 2025. This remarkable decision marks the seventh consecutive year that we have maintained our rates, allowing us to provide exceptional value to our members while fostering a supportive and vibrant community.


All memberships for 2024 expire 12/31/24. You should have received reminders from LPGA Amateurs Headquarters. Please log into your account and renew your membership prior to expiration so you don't miss communications from Headquarters or us, locally, in Fort Wayne.


NOTE: After 12/31/24, if you are not renewed, you WILL NOT be able to register for events via Golf Genius as you will no longer be a member in the system. If you need any help or have questions, please email us at communication@lpgaamateursfortwayne.com

Handicap Dues 2025


You have the option to sign up for handicap service provided by Indiana Golf and your local LPGA Amateur Chapter.


The cost is $29 and is good through one full calendar year. You can download the Indiana golf phone APP to enter scores for 2025 and to access your handicap index.

  • If you have an existing membership through our chapter and you pay the fee for 2025, there is nothing else that needs to be done (you're ID will stay active for another year).
  • For LPGA Amateurs Members paying the $29 fee FOR THE FIRST TIME, the handicap administrator(s) will contact you with your World Golf Handicap ID number along with a link and information on how to access the Indiana Golf Website for the first time.
  • You will need to register/renew for the 2025 season to enter any 2025 scores.
  • Our handicap administrator is Susan Roth. She can be reached for questions at gseroth@aol.com or 260-466-0655
