Enormous congratulations go to Cathe Kropp and Joan Chyall for bringing home the gold in the LPGA Amateurs Regional Cup Qualifier played at El Con on Friday, September 6 and Saturday, September 7.
The match play competition, hosted by the LPGA Amateurs Tucson Chapter, included 19 four-person teams playing four-ball on day one and singles on day two.
The Tucson Gems, Cathe, Joan and their partners from Saddlebrooke Ranch, Janice Mihora and Cathy Steele, competed against teams from the entire western United States to claim the prestigious first place victory and will now travel to Indian Spring Country Club in Boynton Beach, Florida on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 where the Nationals are being held this year. The field competing for the National LPGA Amateur Championship Cup includes 60 teams—240 players from all over the United States.
We wish the very best of luck to Cathe and Joan and their partners, and will be rooting for the Tucson Gems!
Congratulations to our September Aces, Maire Ryan with a gross 86 and Jo Ann Ellison with a net 67. Nice Jobs, ladies, and we’ll look forward to seeing you at the Ace of Aces tournament!
It’s time to organize our calendars to participate in the popular Cactus Classic three day Low-Net Tournament on Tuesday, November 12, Thursday, November 14 and Saturday, November 16. You can find more information online, or you can contact the tournament chairs. This year’s tournament promises to be a fun event, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to our sponsors, Northridge Dental, Oro Valley Eye Care and Windows of Greater Tucson. Without their generous support the SaddleBrooke Women’s Golf Association would not be the vibrant and active league it is today. Many thanks to them!
