Some prizes we will have up for raffle are an odyssey mallet putter, a pair of FootJoy golf shoes, foursomes at our local courses, lessons with amazing LPGA and PGA accredited instructors, and of course our signature baskets!

Must be that lucky green ball on St. Paddys Week, huh Tracey? Congrats to Tracey Stout with a Birdie at Birkdale.

Speaking of Birdies...

We've officially launched our 2024 Birdie Tree! How does this work, you ask? Each time you play in one of our national chapter or local chapter sponsored events and you score one (or more!!) less than par, you can self-report to our Birdie Tree. We will be updating the birdie tree monthly to report who our lucky birdie gals are and sharing each newsletter and on our social media pages! We're excited to see who our top birder will be for the 2024 year!!! Any questions, please contact Vanessa Palmersheim!
