Thumbs up Just Opinion

I believe that Lady Golfers do not get the attention they deserve. In a lot of cases the men are given the attention and the ladies either less or ignored. 21 years ago the community I lived in only had a County Amateur for men and the ladies had to have their own tournaments but not a County Amateur. When my wife, who was a devoted golfer passed away I got with some of the lady golfers, formed a County Ladies Amateur and they have raised thousands of dollars for Cancer. It continues to run each year with a 3 day tournament and is structured for women golfers and not just a copy of a men's tournament. I am not sure if we have a lady county or multi county amateur but should. A number of College Scholarships come from these and the women have their own structured tournament.
