Mass. It was the first time since 1911, when Margaret Curtis and Eleanor Allen made the round of four, that two Massachusetts players had reached the semifinals. Boylan, now a resident of Boston, is a member of the USGA Women's Committee and will serve in that capacity and as a Rules Official throughout the week of the championship. Although the membership at Brae Burn Country Club encourage everyone to attend the 97 th U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, Aug. 4-9, a special invitation was extended to women to leave their work behind for a Women's Day Out on Thursday, Aug. 7. Hosted by Brae Burn Country Club, the event strongly supports the continuing increase of women's interest in the game of golf. In fact, attendance capacity for this event has already been reached.
Activities range from equipment demos to a skills clinic.
Jackie MacMullen of Sports Illustrated, and formerly of the Boston Globe, will serve as a special guest speaker. And of course the women will have the opportunity to watch the world's greatest women amateur golfers on one of the oldest golf courses in the country. SITE - Andrea Solomita will be the USGA Media Contact on site.
