Controlling the Gallery at the US Woman's Open

This past weekend Jamie and I volunteered as Gallery Control at the 2006 US Woman's Open hosted at Newport Country Club on the 10th tee. We had a great time working the ropes on the putting green and rubbing elbows with the best female golfers of today. I got my visor signed by Annika Sorenstam after the practice round on Tuesday. We also worked up at the tee which is shown in the picture, located on the right side of the club house. The crowds had gotten very large and both Annika and Michelle Wie had huge followings. We were able to see all the golfers up close on the ' inside ' of the ropes. I'm glad that we both did such an exciting event, life is made up of moments and we will always remember our time at the 2006 US Open in Newport, RI.

Annika and Pat Hurst ended up tie-ing on Sunday which lead to an 18 hole playoff on Monday. Annika took it down with a 5 stroke win. Here dedication and hard work was inspiring !
