Cindy Keller's BIO

Hi!

My name is Cindy Keller, and I would love the opportunity to be your President of GVWGA.

My golf beginnings started when I was a young kid. Mom and Dad would take me to Latta Lea Golf Course, a Par 3 course on Latta Road in Greece, not too far from my home. From that point on I was hooked on golf. Us kids would ride our bikes to Latta Lea and get in 9 holes and sometimes circle around for another 9. Fast forward through life, graduating from college, working full time, married, kids, there was really no time for golf on a regular basis….until I Retired!

I started playing on Monday nights at the Genesee Valley Golf Course with a group of gals called Mixed Links. It was only natural that I would join GVWGA to play in tournaments at courses all over town, including those beautiful drives to rural areas. I met so many people that I became friends with right away. It was easy; we all had a love-hate relationship with golf, however, we were having fun, and then more fun at dinner and drinks after tournaments.

Having served with organizations in the past, the timing was right for me to put my name on the GVWGA ballot. I have a great appreciation for what goes on behind the scenes of our association. From the Executive Board and Standing Committees, to the members who volunteer for our tournaments, and to our wonderful gatherings at our Spring and Fall Banquets.

If elected, I aim to continue the integrity and pure fun of this organization. I also want to continue to appeal to all levels of playing. No matter high or low the handicap, keep the game fun as well as challenging, and encourage more team events. I will remain open to conversations with members at all times, and bring concerns to the Executive Board. As members, we already have in place an outstanding Executive Board and Standing Committees. We can still achieve to be better, and continue the longstanding ideas that were put forth when our organization was founded in 1935. We have come a long way, and we can continue to move forward together.

Hello,

Our league is made up of many different abilities and personalities and hopefully we all have the same goal - to have fun. As our league grows every year, we find we have more challenges to conquer. Being the President of the league during Covid, we had many challenges to navigate. And we survived! I enjoy meeting the new people in the league and would like to have more events for them to get to know the league and the people in it.
