Test Your Knowledge!

---------------

During a match in Match Play, which of the following is true?

A) You may not ask your opponent for yardage before your tee shot

B) You may not mark your ball off the putting green unless asked to do so by your opponent because your ball may impede her play

GUEST POLICY:

Guests are welcome to participate in up to two events with the LPGA Amateurs - Dallas TX chapter. After the second visit, we require players to formally join the LPGA Amateur Golf Association - Dallas TX chapter.

Member Benefit - Visiting Chapters While Traveling

One of the unique benefits of being a member of LPGA Amateurs is visiting other Chapters while traveling and having the opportunity to meet other members and maybe even play golf! The easiest option to connect with other Chapters is to email the President of the Chapter and let them know your schedule - their contact information should be in the "About" section or in the Contact tab/form on the Chapter Website. You can also check the Chapter event calendar to see if there is an event that coincides with your travel plans. Cheers to making new friends!
