Fore!!! Hopefully this newsletter landed in your inbox’s green and not in the sand trap, because we’re looking ahead to the longest-running, non-major tournament on the LPGA Tour. Even if you’re not a golf fan, take a swing on this event — it’s a great chance to enjoy the scenery of an otherwise private course, as well as dramatic competition between the game’s best athletes. Plus, there’s plenty to do beyond the back nine.
