Vocational:
Ryan provided information on the Christmas Party scheduled for Dec. 12th at Barb Burns’ home. A sign up sheet was passed around for hor d’oeuvres, desserts or drinks…the plan is heavy hor d’oeuvres and a prize for the best one served.
Program:
Today’s program was Kathy Welsch and her experiences and love for the game of golf. She shared that she was introduced to the game when she was nine years old and encouraged by a 60 year old friend on its importance. In 1974 she tracked stats and got involved by watching other players and improving her score to the point where she received her LPGA Tour Card. The same year she played in her first US Open with an amazing group of other professionals…she did not tell us if she won or not. She went on to head the LPGA Girls Division in Birmingham and shared with other girls the valuable lessons she had learned from the game. She feels the opportunities have definitely changed for today’s golfer with degrees in areas that open the field wide up. It is obvious that golf has had a huge impact on her life and her love of the game is apparent when she shares her experiences.
