Open to girls aged 6 to 17 with an interest in golf, the event features activities such as Golfzilla, chipping and putting games as well as lively personalized drawings by local caricature artists.
“We are so excited for our second annual LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Day at beautiful Ballyhack Golf Club,” said Jennifer Blackwood, Site Director for Girls Golf of Roanoke, VA. “We are looking forward to another memorable afternoon that supports girls' interest in the game.”
