Dec 7th Holly Jolly Event
Dec 18th Board Meeting
From our President
While the 2021 summer golfing months are behind us, the Columbus Chapter Board of the LPGA Amateur Golf Association is already knee deep in planning for next season. We have many events and activities for our membership in the works! A very big thank you to those members who have already volunteered to organize or be on a committee for 2022 events. Since we are an all volunteer organization, your help is appreciated and essential! As the saying goes “many hands make light work”.
 
In the month of November, the Board transitioned to several new Board Directors. We are grateful to our outgoing Directors who did an amazing job — especially during two years of pandemic adjustments. Also, in November, we approved an Events Director, Kate Schroeder. Kate has been a member for five years and is currently playing on the Airport League. We welcome Kate’s leadership with Events! 
 
We will continue to have activities throughout the winter months so look for details in the Columbus Chapter newsletters that we send at the beginning of every month. As always, should you have any questions, suggestions, or if you would like to volunteer, please reach out to any of our Board Members.

Maintaining USGA GolfNet Handicap Through 2022 - Instructions
NOTE: This announcement only impacts those who keep a handicap in the LPGA Amateurs provided handicap system GolfNet.

In November Mary-Lee Cobick, VP of LPGA Foundation, sent out a message to our members announcing our use of the GolfNet handicap system will be terminated after next season due to a decision by the USGA. To view Mary-Lee’s message click on this link.

For those who currently keep a handicap in GolfNet or would like to for 2022, review the instructions below. If you want to switch to our paid GHIN service look for the opportunity to signup in our January newsletter.


GolfNet Sunsetting Timeline:
Through December 31, 2022 
  • All members with active GolfNet accounts as of December 31, 2021 may continue using GolfNet through 12/31/22

Beginning January 1, 2022
  • No new members may be added to GolfNet rosters, and 
  • Inactive GolfNet accounts may not be reactivated
 
Ensure your GolfNet account is active prior to December 22, 2021:
  • If you input scores into the GolfNet online or phone app during 2021, your account is active and no action is needed.
  • If you've had a GolfNet account in the past and want to re-activate it for 2022 contact Laura Seed at handicap.lpgaamateurs.columbus@gmail.com ‎

Marketing Corner
Greetings to all returning Members and a special "Welcome" to New Members!

As the new Marketing Director, I am looking forward to a wonderful 2022 season.
Besides the winter socials, our first “season” event for 2022 will be Tee-off on April 12, 2022. It is our major fundraiser and what we raise will help fund member events for the 2022 season. While we are still working on details of the event, we want to reach out to members now for help in securing donations for the silent auction and raffle. We are also seeking sponsors for this and future events.

If you have contacts with any businesses, golf courses, or individuals who would like to help support our LPGA Amateur Golf Association Columbus Chapter, please email me: sponsors.lpgaamateurs.columbus@gmail.com. We have a large group of women across the entire Columbus region and that is a great target market for sponsors. 

We also want to provide a swag bag for each attendee of our April Tee Off event. In the past we’ve given items like Logo Tee's, balls, gift cards, towels, socks, candy, etc. If you know of an organization or person who would be interested in donating or sponsoring these bags, please let me know. We would like to line up our sponsors and donations by March 15th. 

We have an exciting year ahead for members and the Board is already laying the groundwork in preparation for the new season.
 
Thank you for your help and Happy Holidays!

Cheri Davis
Marketing Director
