Meet our summer intern, Taylor Loeb! Sports Management major at the Henderson State University, Loeb has committed herself in serving the ASGA this past summer and has been a great asset to our staff.
National Women’s Golf Day is just around the corner, and we are celebrating it this year in Arkansas! You may have seen our Facebook event and social media posts promoting this event, but there is a deeper purpose behind this day and why it’s so important to get women involved on this special day.
Women’s Golf Day is a global golf initiative that was launched in 2016 by founder and driving force, Elisa Gaudet, to introduce women of all ages to the game and encourage existing female golfers to “tee it up” in a fun and highly inclusive environment.
The road to the 2019 U.S. Open is underway in Arkansas at Hot Springs Country Club, the only local qualifying site in the state. Arkansas natives, Mason Overstreet and Mitchell Ford secured two of only five spots in the 80-player field. They will move on to sectional qualifying at one of the twelve hosting sites around the country. Of those 80 players, 41 were from Arkansas.
Ladies of the ASGA played in our second tournament of the season at the 2-Lady Scramble on April 23-24 at DeSoto Golf Club in Hot Springs Village. Thirty teams competed in this annual event featuring a shotgun start both days of the tournament. Teams were divided into three flights for day two based on first-round scoring. Participants also enjoyed lunch and refreshments in addition to 18 holes of golf each day.
