Hello Women Golfers:

A few updates ~

  • Maggie, Ginny, Mary Ellen and Rosie have been working on the 18 hole President’s Cup which takes place on Sunday Aug. 18 in the morning. Fee is $15 and sign-up sheet will be posted at the Pro Shop or call Dave at 256-6894 to register. Look for more details from the Committee soon.
  • We are still in need of a group to organize the Over 50 nine hole tournament for Sunday Sept. 8 in the afternoon. There isn’t a lot of work involved because it is 9 holes meaning snacks, delicious, of course, are sufficient and the prize is already determined – $100 to the winner who must be over 50 yrs. old. However, you don’t have to be over 50 to play. The Committee sign-up sheet is on the AGCWA bulletin board in the Pro Shop. Please consider volunteering so we can have a positive finish for the season.
  • As soon as information is available regarding the Fall League, it will be sent out.
  • THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO OUR SUCCESSFUL 2019 TOURNAMENT SEASON.  Whether organizing and/or playing, it takes all of us working together toward the same goal – having fun golfing with friends at the Amherst Golf Club!
Merci beaucoup.

Thanks to all who signed up to organize these events. Fast forward to July 27 our 9H Women’s Open. We are still looking for 3-4 more volunteers. This event not only takes planning, it also takes members to be present to help run the chipping and putting contests. Please check your calendars and help out if you can.
  • Update on the Ringers/Chip in contest: congratulations to Jodi Kirschner, new member and first to make a chip in, and to Pat O’Brien who has also marked one on the board. Hope you are also lucky.
  • Speaking of new members: Gail Seefeldt joined AGC last week and has already played a round with the Niners. If you see a new face, please welcome her to AGC.
See you on the course,
