Peggy Ference to Play from Men's Championship Tees at U.S. Open:

An Interview with Peggy about Her Strategy for Golf and Life ©
Peggy Ference will play the Open course from the 7,040 yard tournament tees under tourament conditions in the Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge.

Peggy Ference is making history. Yes, you read it right. The first round of the U.S. Open is Thursday, June 17th at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in California's beautiful Monterey Peninsula. And, for the first time in the history of women's golf - and probably in the history of the men's U.S. Open - an amateur female golfer, Peggy Ference, age 51, from Skillman, NJ, will play the Open course from the 7,040 yard tournament tees under tournament conditions on June 9th in the Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge - one week before the Open officially begins. Her goal is to break 100 - a challenge Tiger Woods put in place a few years ago.

Peggy will not be playing alone. Peggy, with her 4.9 handicap, will join in a foursome with Drew Brees, the MVP quarterback from the New Orleans Saints, who has a 3 handicap, Wayne Gretsky, National Hockey League Hall of Famer, with a 10 handicap, and the actor and producer, Mark Wahlberg who plays to a 14 handicap.

The fourth golfer, Peggy, representing an "average" amateur golfer, earned her place as the winner of an essay and on-line voting contest. Peggy captured 37% of the 65,000 online votes cast during the Month of April.

Berkley wanted to know more what motivated her to take on this challenge, and what she is doing to prepare for Pebble. She also asked a few "experts" to offer some advice and then asked Peggy what she thought about that advice. See More on her interview.

Donna Caponi-Byrnes, 2009 PGA First Lady of Golf

Donna Caponi-Byrnes, the daughter of a PGA Professional, who became a four-time major champion and later capped her Hall of Fame career as one of today's most popular television golf reporters, has been named the recipient of the 2009 PGA First Lady of Golf. Among Caponi-Byrnes' many endeavors is serving as a longtime supporter of the Rally for the Cure, a grassroots program launched in 1996 in partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, dedicated to spreading awareness in the fight to eradicate breast cancer - the disease that claimed the life of Caponi-Byrnes' mother, Antoinette.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Get Golf Ready Seeks
to Connect Adults to Golf
Get Golf Ready is targeted to the millions of U.S. adults who have never played golf, or who have minimal previous connection to the game. Participants will be provided with skills training as well as background on the game's rules, etiquette and values. The initiative is designed to bring adults into the game in a comfortable, enjoyable manner through a series of five introductory lessons in a small-group setting. Each of the five sessions features significant on-course learning opportunities. The program will be offered at several hundred golf facilities around the U.S. for $99 (pricing may vary by facility). Beginning in 2009, Get Golf Ready has set a goal of having 3,000 facilities offering the program by the end of 2011. Read Full Announcement

Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth´s beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves.
Success is a journey, not a destination.
