Well, Well, Well, look whom we have here at the inaugural outing of our Thursday 18-hole Winter League at Westchester: the formidable foursome of Jayne Hermance, Nancy Blackburn, Andrea Yuran, and Michele Lindstrom.
Why the shout-out to these ladies? This foursome won 2nd place in Team Stableford at the Annual Holiday Charity Event on December 8, 2024.
Looks like they are starting their practice for the 2025 events.

Winter League - Westchester
Round 1
What a smashing success. Seven groups played three different courses. Two members made birdies on a Par three and joined the 2-Club. Westchester provided a free glass of wine and a complimentary appetizer in the Grill Room after the round.
In addition, we had three winners of our first game of the season.
Congratulations, Leda Malaga, Pam Neville, and Penny Petroff.
|
Game: Front 9 vs. Back 9
Format: Assume you start off with a great Front nine. If your back nine is better than your front nine, you are in the running to be a winner. If your back nine is worse than your front nine, then listen to a podcast about staying in the moment and don't get ahead of yourself.
Golf is a mental game!

League Manager Barbara Spinelli is wrapping up Friday's 9-Hole fun league with new member Lori Allen.
Thank you, Barbara, for being the League Manager and for providing our members with a fun Friday twilight league.

We sorrowfully extend our condolences to Chapter member, Chapter sponsor, and LPGA Professional Trish Beucher during this incredibly difficult time. Trish is family to us, and the passing of her beloved sister, Janice Griffith, on January 4, 2025, has deeply affected Trish and all who knew Janice. Janice was cherished by all who knew her, and her absence will be felt profoundly. We stand in solidarity with Trish and her family, offering our support and love as they navigate through this period of grief. | | |

More Important Information | |
Why amy I not getting email notifications? Why are they suppressed?
A few members have reported that they are not receiving the emails from Golf Genius, so we wanted to share this information on how this may occur:
- When dealing with mass emails, the restrictions from the recipient's email provider become more strict.
- Due to this, some email addresses get flagged and placed on the suppression list.
-
We recommend that you add noreply@golfgenius.com to your safe sender or contact list. This will help prevent suppressions from occurring in the future.
