I mentioned this event in an earlier posting, but now it’s time to get serious. If you can do only ONE State LWGA event, this is the one!
June 20-23 marks the dates of the 82nd LWGA Amateur Championship held at Koasati Pines in Kinder, LA near the Coushatta Casino Resort. This competition is a match play format and has both winners’ bracket as well as consolation bracket.
If you’ve never played in a state event because you think you’re not good enough, this is the one to try first. So it takes you six strokes to get out of the sand and you lose the hole. You can STILL win the match! You are playing against golfers of your own skill level. And it is FUN!
The practice round and Welcome Dinner is on Sunday, June 20th. You are pre-flighted based on your index and you definitely play on Monday and Tuesday. If you lose both of those matches, you are done. If you win both matches, you go into the winners’ bracket and play on Wednesday. If you lose one of the first two matches, you go into the consolation bracket and play on Wednesday.
The $140 entry fee includes cart rental, golf, range balls, and all social events. It’s a great deal. And if you like casinos, the Coushatta Casino has great accommodations at a preferred rate for players and is a great casino for a fun night of gaming.
For information and entry form, go to the LWGA site at

Sure hope you decide to give it a try. You’ll be glad you did.
