Seeking Chapter Leadership for 2025 Year

We all enjoy the benefits of our LPGA Amateurs chapter – leagues, education, events, and social connections. Thank you to all of you who are willing to contribute in large (leadership), medium (committees, event support), and small (tasks and activities). We are a volunteer-run organization, and your chapter needs your help as we plan for 2025.  

My 2-year term as President ends this year; Anita Nelson (Board Member, Marketing Chair) is also stepping away after her two-year leadership and board role. We ‘made do’ this year without either an Events or a Membership Chair but that’s not sustainable for our chapter. We need 4 key leadership positions filled, each for 2-year terms for 2025/2026.  Please consider stepping forward to help us lead the organization.  Many of us derive great satisfaction in giving back to an organization that gives to us; and, believe or not, leading the organization is not all that challenging and doesn’t require a huge amount of time when planned out well. 

Please reach out to me directly, to your league captain or to others who you know have led or know the organization well; we are happy to discuss the roles, answer questions and explore. I can be reached directly at contactmnmetrogolf@gmail.com or by phone at 612-600-2530 and am happy to connect. I am looking forward to hearing from you and the role you want to plan in leading our great chapter.

July Golf Event “Replay”

Sadly, our July 21^st Spectacular Golf Event was rained out and unable to proceed in July; not quite as spectacular as we’d hoped.  We had 44 players including members and guests who signed up for this fun social golf event that included both a 2-person scramble and a non-scramble, stroke-play event. We had LOTS of prizes and goodies for our players and the Board is discussing how to proceed.

Look for a separate email if we elect to reschedule end of August/early September. More likely, we will make this into our year-end event, allow guests to join and play an 18-hole event (and give away all our prizes and trinkets). More to come.
