For the third year in a row I was fortunate to be a walking scorer volunteer for the Official Pure Silk LPGA golf Classic held at the One & Only Ocean Club Tom Weiskopf designed golf course, a golf course surrounded by spectacular ocean vistas and some spectacular multi million dollar homes! As a real estate broker and an avid golfer (10 handicap) I was like a kid in a candy store!!
The event attracted and has attracted for the past three years the best professional lady golfers in the world such as, Michelle Wie (pictured) Lydia Ko, Lewis, Sandra Gal and many many more!
The event started on Thursday, February 5th and ended spectacularly with a three woman playoff on Sunday, February 8th.
Most of the ladies started arriving on Monday to relax and enjoy Atlantis, Paradise Island and to also play a few practice rounds before getting down to business on Thursday. The exposure for the Bahamas, especially as the event was covered on Live TV was enormous!!
As a Walking Scorer for most of the tournament I was paired with three spectacular golfers, Mariajo Uribe from Columbia, Maria Alex form the USA and Carlota Ciganda from Spain…a United Nation of golfers. My job was to trail them with a wireless Motarola hand held device and track every shot and keep score all for official LPGA stats and for live coverage on the Golf Channel.
The event was a smashing success and enjoyed so much by all, players and spectators alike! In fact it has been such a success over the past three years and enjoyed so much by the players that a new two year contract was signed through 2017 so I look forward to a few more years of walking the beautiful fairways of the Ocean Club Golf Course and admiring the best lady golfers in the world as a Pure Silk Volunteer!
