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.
You are so right, they do not get the media attention they deserve. Keep up the good work!
