The LPGA played in St. Petersburg from 1963 to 1989 under one name or another including USX Classic, Orange Blossom Classic, and the St. Petersburg Open. Kathy Whitworth won it 5 times- 65, 68-70, and 74. The LPGA for I don’t know how long has said only Wright, Sorrenstam and Pak have won the same tournament 5 times. I notified the LPGA. The record book will be fixed.
Another tournament in Florida will be great.
Bill,
adding another event be it Florida or any place else, would be great for the girls…I don’t care were, just :“do it”…love those ladies…STUB
an LPGA event in Florence, SC ? That’s a Future’s Tour size town.
Keep going, ladies. You’ll have a full schedule before you know it.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
They used to have an event in Kutztown, PA. Maybe 1000 people live there.
