L.P.G.A. Championships @ Locust Hill C.C. June 24-27.
As of June 24-27- Rochester NY, will be center stage in yet another major championship. This time it will be the Ladies turn as they get their opportunity to host the L.P.G.A. Championships. For over 33 years, Locust Hill C.C. has been host to the L.P.G.A. on the regular tour. Wegmans Super Markets, has been the sponsor of one the most popular tournaments on the ladies tour.
In the past Rosie Jones, two-time champion of this golf tournament was quoted last year as saying, ” Without a doubt, the Rochester event is a major tournament without being part of the four major golf tournaments every year.” The fans of Rochester NY are the most knowledgeable about golf, and the players and sponsors do want to make this their shining jewel on the tour.
In 1973, United States Women’s Open was held at the Country Club of Rochester, it would be the last major tournament for the ladies here in this city. I was 17, and this is where I got my chance to caddy for the first time on the national stage. The summer before this I was caddying locally at the prestigious Oak Hill C.C.. Home of the 1995 Ryder Cup, 1956-1968-1989 United States Men’s Open, 1984 U.S. Seniors Open, 1980,2003 P.G.A. Championships and 1949, 1998 U.S. Amateur.
