I hope you had a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year! Our Columbus Chapter Board had our annual planning meeting just before Christmas and we’ve got a great year in the works for our members. During off-season, there will be a social event each month. Season kicks off with our Tee Off event in March and we have many fun events planned throughout the season for all members.
With the fluid pandemic environment, we will be vigilant in planning events that adhere to CDC and LPGA Amateurs guidelines. At the beginning of every month, keep an eye out for this newsletter. You will find details about upcoming events and any adjustments to planned activities and events.
Finally, memberships renewals were due in December. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Membership Director, Deb Joseph at (members.lpgaamateurs.columbus@gmail.com). We are a 200+ strong membership and, with your help, we look forward to growth again this year! LPGA Amateurs is an excellent way for golfers of all levels to enjoy the game either competitively or socially. Our social events are a great way to introduce your friends to LPGA Amateurs.
Welcome to the 2022 season!
Carla Woodhouse
President
