-We elected a slate of board members: Janice Kitchening, Roger Levering, Patrick Ritter, Dave Roney to three year terms.

In conjunction with the official business, we gave out our annual awards and scholarships. This year, we increased the scholarships to $1500 each and provided a $100 stipend to the junior golfer award winners. This year's winners are:
Ed Rochelle men's scholarship: Chad Stolka
LKGA women's scholarship: Claudia Steling

The first award went to Robert Barrios who consistently supports the LKGA and scramble events. Robert also helps out with the Key West High School golf team. The other recipient was Joshua Bassett the retiring Key West High School golf coach.

Congratulations to the winners.

The October, 2025 LKGA Scramble was likely one of the closest top to bottom that I can remember! There was about five strokes separating the entire field and only about two strokes from third place.
We also had several different people winning both the team and hole prizes as well.
In the end, it was the team of Brownell, Goodfellow, Holleman and Burson that took first place with a net 60.10. Congratulations!
Our next LKGA Scramble is November 9th.
