2024 Year in Review

2024 was another great year for our chapter and its members! Here are some of the highlights:

  • 6 members got hole-in-ones! Carissa Amundson, Jenn Evenson, Barb Severson, Tracy Yandry, Sandy Bell, and Molly Koranda
  • We held 2 new tournaments: the Eraser Tournament and the Chapter Championship
  • Members were able to participate in 2 new leagues: a beginners league with Sue Shapcott, PhD and a competitive league at Yahara Hills
  • We hosted 2 successful outings: a Women's Day scramble at TPC Wisconsin and our annual Charity Outing at the Legends of Bergamont supporting the Foundation for Black Women's Wellness
  • Our chapter was well represented and successful at WSGA events, including the Patti Pelsichek Solheim Cup, Women's Match Play, and Women's Stableford events
  • Chapter member Sarah DeKraay qualified to the USGA Senior Women's Open final in Seattle and was an alternate to the USGA Women's Mid-amateur finals


We look forward to continuing to expand our member benefits in 2025 and can't wait for another great year!

Pickleball at TPC Wisconsin

Friday; January 17, 2025; 4-6pm

$15

Join fellow members for an evening of pickleball at TPC Wisconsin!


As part of our member exclusive partnership with TPC WIsconsin, we will be holding an evening of pickleball on Friday January 17! Cost is $15 per person and covers the cost of the court rental. A limited number of extra paddles will be available for those new to the game. All levels are welcome, including those who have never played before and want to learn!

Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, as it is easy to learn and can be played by all ages and fitness levels! Pickleball is a racquet sport played on a court smaller than a tennis court with a ball similar to a whiffle ball and is most often played as doubles.
