One of my favorite aspects of being a golf professional is giving back to the game and helping educate adults and juniors in its life lessons.
As a member of the LPGA Teaching & Club Professional Division, I had a really neat experience Tuesday at the Cassique Crouse at the Kiawah Island Club. At this event, nine LPGA members and associates teed it up to each play 100 holes of golf to raise money for the LPGA Foundation. This fantastic foundation helps support LPGA*USGA Girls Golf. We each had mats to hit our shots from to minimize divots on the course and played anywhere from 3-5 balls per hole per person (lots of ball marks and balls on the greens). Due to daylight, it was from a shorter distance.
We raced around the course and tried to better ourselves on the 2nd 18 and had lots of fun. I had a feeling someone would get a hole-in-one and sure enough, Carole Clarke did. The greens were rolling quickly and we didn't line up our putts but rather played speed putting. My birdie tally wasn't as high but it was fun, great weather, a good cause and the Club took great care of us with breakfast and lunch. It was just an overall neat experience.
