President’s note:



As you are participating in some of the great events our volunteers have orchestrated, have you ever imagined yourself being more involved in events? Well, now is the time to let us know how you might be able to fit into this well-oiled-machine - LPGA Amateurs SWFL Chapter.

We are looking to fill a few positions on the Board and you might fit in perfectly. We have a dedicated team whom all work together to provide great golf events, social events and provide an opportunity for you and more women to play more golf! But, we cannot do it without volunteers and people like YOU!

Not sure what it entails? Volunteer for one event to see! Please consider volunteering for an event or a Board position. You can call or email me if you need more information or have specific questions.

Phone: 239.287.5672 or email: presidentLPGAAmateursSWFL@gmail.com

The Board has decided to use Golf Genius for all our events going forward. Of course there will be a transition from E-Z facility, but we believe that our members will find Golf Genius an easier and more concise way of registering for our events.

We will be utilizing our website more for the calendar of events and emails will be sent about announcing when events are open for registration.

The Blast will be your best way to keep up with the changes.

As always, please reach out to anyone on the Board if you have questions or concerns.

Thank you, to all the women that came out for the June Monthly Event at Naples Lakes Golf Club. 

We played a 4 person Vegas Scramble which is a fan favorite. Once everyone hit their drives, everyone got excited to head to the longest one, but wait….you have to roll the dice. 

The number on the dice decided the team’s fate and which drive was going to be used. Then it got interesting, but a fun time was had by all (I hope).

And the winners were: 

1st place net (score of 58)– Team of Kerstin Koenig, Jenny Taylor, Peggy Emmart, Kyra Eastburn

2nd place net (score of 59) – Team of Bonnie Blanchard, Sara Eriksson, Patty Gift, Dawn Pallett

Scorecard playoff for 3rd place

3rd place net (score of 60) – Team of Sussie Opperman, Suzi Ward, Liz Rees, Susie Sandstrom

4th place net (score of 60) – Team of Deb Sutphen, Sany Bologna, Dawn Sanders, Beth Marcotte

Closest to the pin winners:

Hole 5 – Kerstin Koenig – 14’ 7”

Hole 7 – Keri Hoffman – 22’ 7”

Hole 13 – Sara Eriksson – 51’ 6”

Hole 15 – Suzi Ward – 1’ 7”
