Good News! I was able to add an additional tee time to many of the upcoming week-end events so we should be able to accommodate everyone. But, please don't delay in registering. And don't hesitate to sign up for the wait list as invariably, something comes up with late cancellations.  Our website has the open registration dates in green when you click on the "Register Here for all chapter events".

Due to high interest, our Mystery Bus Adventure will now accommodate 40 players. 

We were able to get an additional 2 tee times.  Registrations open May 1st.

Don't miss the fun!!

For those players who are also members of golf clubs/courses on our event list, please let me know in advance if you wish to play as I will manually add you on to the roster. You do not have to pay the LPGA Amateur cost for that course. If there is a charge to you by your course, you can settle any costs with them directly. My contact info is 804-928-4638 or geebee8101@gmail.com.  

Kick-off Dinner: 

Well...Wow... what a great turn out for our kick-off! A wonderful evening.
