LPGA at Blackhawk
Thank you, volunteers
Several of our members volunteered their time and persevered through scorching heat to help out as Hole 9 marshals at this year's LPGA tournament at Blackhawk. We also had several members of the EWGA Fresno chapter join us in making Hole-9 the best experience for our LPGA girls through their four days of competition. How inspiring it is to see these girls play. Thank you to everyone who came out to help: from the NEB chapter Jessica Cataudella, Margaret Hamersley, Alice Miller, Rachel Norwitt, Trish Powell, Patricia Ramirez, Joanne Segovia, and Gina Willis; from the Fresno chapter Nanci Mathers, Pam Parr, Norma Peratt, Joan Robledo, Mae Rogers, Charlene Williams, and Catherine Willis; from Fore Women Golf Dot Yardley, and volunteer Pam Tompkins.
...and thanks also to those who came out just to cheer the girls on. Every bit of support is very much appreciated. |
