Fort Wayne, Indiana. Home to 251,591 people (wow) and the 73rd largest city in the US (what?!). Surrounded by mature trees and corn fields, this oasis is home to a fantastic golf course. That course would be Sycamore Hills Golf Club. It is amazing, check it out. I thought I played a great golf course in St. Louis, this course about matches it! The USGA knows how to put on a tournament. They've had 109 years of experience, they better know! Fort Wayne has seemed to have a surprise for me around every corner, hopefully on that list is the Judy Bell trophy, named in honor of the 1996-1997 USGA President. That would top off a week in corn country!GO C-O!
Side note: Carol Semple Thompson (Pennsylvania) is here...check out her credentials – 1973 U.S. Women’s Amateur; 1990 and 1997 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur; 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur; 1974, 1976, 1980, 1982, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002 Curtis Cup team; 2006 and 2008 Curtis Cup captain.
During our formal dinner tonight, people clapped after the Curtis Cup team years and thought the announcer was done. Carol sat down after about half of it. Wow...
Rachel - Great 72 shot on the first day! Keep up the good game each day like this and your team will do well and get noticed - even if you're not wearing a short skirt :-) Gary
