President

Sandy Wirtel
Dear Members,
 
September has me starting to lament the end  of regular golf season.  I hope members will continue to meet for 9 or 18, or happy hour when the weather is less than cooperative!  (And invite me-I'm a lot of fun, I swear!)**
 
In the mean time, let's keep celebrating Chapter success by rooting for those going to Finals in the EWGA Championship next month in Virginia. Go get 'em, gals! Let's also celebrate BOTH Match Cup teams advancing to Nationals in their Regional qualifiers. Whoo hoo KC Metro!! They're headed to California in November.   
 
I hope to see YOU at Play for PINK on Sept 24th and at Top Golf for our Year End event on November 5th!
 
Cheers,
 
Sandy

Glitter Goblet

This year's Glitter Goblet multi-chapter event in Polk City, IA was attended by 20 KC Metro chapter members.  "The Goblets" inter-chapter team won the overall fun competition and KC member Patty Lundgren won a hole contest for closest to the line. 

KC Metro chapter will be hosting next year and we plan on making some changes including the name and time of summer so as not to conflict with the Solheim Cup.  If you would like to be on the committee, please contact Morgan Rathmel.
