From the President

As I write this, it is a perfect weekend for the Memorial Tournament! Whether you are attending, playing your own golf, or just enjoying this weather another way, it is surely a signal that we are well into our season. The leagues are going strong with plenty of social and competitive play. There is even a new golfers league. See below for opportunities to help our new golfers learn more about the game. We have plenty of events still on the calendar so now is a good time to see what you can sign up for and get it into your calendar. As always, summer seems to go by fast!

Finally, our organization is looking for members with financial and technology experience. If you are interested in finding out more about that, please send me a note a this

EMAIL.

These are our longest days of the year so get out there and enjoy.

Happy golfing!

League Spotlight - WednesDAY Travel League

After the round at Chapel Hill Golf Course in Johnstown, OH, the ladies in the WednesDAY league are chilling out on the patio overlooking the golf course. Many stories were told, many reasons those putts were just not going in the hole, .... and we are sure that they all were true.

Our goal for the League Spotlight is to get to get candid pictures of members enjoying a round of golf or enjoying a round on the 19th hole after golf. Please send in league pictures to:

Announcing 2022 Women on Par Winners

The LPGA Amateur Golf Association announced the winners of the 2022 Women on Par (WOP) Scholarship. Originally established in 2007, the scholarship provides financial assistance for three to four, “non-traditional” female students, over the age of 30, pursuing higher education for the first time, with the intention of helping women get “on par” with their peers through the opportunities a college degree provides.

Jill Rackley (veteran), Julie Jeffers (Native American and tribal preservation student), Victoria Sterling (first responder), and Amber Cimburek (mental health advocate) join the over 27 women who have been awarded the scholarship, earning $4,000, $2,000, $1000, and $500 respectively to help them achieve their career goals. Winners are selected based on need, personal and professional goals, and their personal stories. This year the funds for recipients of the Women on Par more than doubled thanks to the contributions of donors and the LPGA Amateurs Virtual Scramble. Read more...
