Chapter students enjoyed an awesome morning at The Champions Club with LPGA Tour professionals Marina Alex and Ashleigh Buhai. The students asked questions about playing on tour, participated in full swing, chipping and putting stations, gathered autographs and even enjoyed some delicious, shaved Kona Ice.

We hosted many students from our program partners: Boys & Girls Club St. Lucie, Special Olympics Florida, Martin County PAL, LPGA Amateurs, and LPGA Girls Golf.

Special THANK YOU to Chapter Director Jen Hong for bringing this event to life and to Champions Club General Manager David Ladd, PGA for hosting!

Chapter President & Trustee Andrew Hunt and his wife Robin attended to support our many students and Coaches.
