Important Etiquette Reminder!

LPGA Amateurs Code of Conduct

When members join the LPGA Amateurs they agree to the LPGA Amateurs Code of Conduct. LPGA Amateur Golf Association members share the responsibility of demonstrating exemplary conduct, sportsmanship, respect, and courtesy at all times when participating in LPGA Amateurs events and conducting LPGA Amateurs business. Please remember as members you can share with your Chapter Board anytime you see behavior which is contrary to the LPGA Amateurs Code of Conduct and how a member of the LPGA Family should be representing this organization. 


The LPGA Amateurs Code of Conduct can be found at this link. We encourage you to review the Code of Conduct and please let a Chapter Board member know if you have any questions. 


Importantly, as a representative of the LPGA Amateur Golf Association, you are responsible for conducting yourself on the golf course in a manner that respects the time and safety of other members of the golf community with whom you share the course. This includes ensuring you yell "FORE!" whenever you hit a stray ball where another person may be (even if you don't see them in the moment; they should be standing out of sight but in danger of a stray ball) and maintaining the pace of play of the course. Typically, a foursome should be able to complete 9 holes in under 2 hours and 15 minutes. If you fall behind pace of play and are out of position relative to the group in front of you, make every effort to speed up your pace, including picking up your ball if you are taking too long to complete a hole.

Play.

End of Season Celebration!

Saturday, September 14; 9 or 10am Start time (TBD)

Meadows of Sixmile Creek

Registration opens next week!

Join us to celebrate the 2024 Golf Season! Registration will open next week! We have 3 great options for you to participate:


Play in the Chapter Championship Stroke Play* division if you want to compete as an individual and have a USGA handicap. Players will compete in net and gross individual stroke play. Flights will be determined after registration closes. An overall net and gross champion will be crowned! An optional skins game will also be available.


Play in the Fun Scramble division if you want to golf in a more relaxed environment/don't have a USGA handicap. Members and non-members are welcome to participate in the scramble! Invite a non-member to join you to learn more about our organization while having fun on the course! Scramble teams will be 2 or 4 players, depending on the number or registrants. An award will be presented to the top team!


Join us for Dinner only* if you want to come socialize and celebrate after golf but are not able to golf that day. Dinner will be served approximately 4.5 hours after golf starts. Awards for the chapter championship, scramble, eraser tournament, and Murphy Desmond Cup will be presented.


*Players who are participating in the Eraser Tournament will be automatically registered for the Chapter Championship. When registration opens, please register for the dinner only option.

Belong.

Fore Please!
