This tournament is a 10 minute drive from my house. It's great, they do a wonderful job of community involvement and often get a lot of the big names in the womens game to play. My dad is the head marshall on the 9th hole, he's pumped! Beautiful weather for it here this weekend as well. Most eyes are on Brooke Henderson as Canada's top lady golfer, but it's always a good tourney. Should be some pretty low scores however, no wind on a links-type course usually creates that.

 

I would be heading there this weekend except when your wife is 9+ months pregnant, going somewhere you're not allowed to use a cellphone is not the best idea.

I was major league shocked the way Lexi played the back nine yesterday.   I would never have figured that she would three putt those last two greens.  I think Ariya was more shocked than I.
