“We love hosting WVGA events and women’s golf. It’s good to see a lot of women who play here regularly,” said Big Bend’s Hed Golf Professional Cliff Wheeler. “The course is actually pretty good, even though we’re a bit short-handed. The hot and dry weather gave us a chance to catch up.”
“We were thrilled to have a field of over two dozen women turn out today for the fourth event of our six-event 2025 Women’s Series,” said WVGA Director of Women’s Golf and One Day Series Sarah Cole.
