Competition rounds took place across Reynolds’ Great Waters, Oconee, and National (Ridge and Cove) courses. This invite-only tournament field is made up of the top amateur golfers from around the country who have won their club championship during the 2024 calendar year. The championship brings together a wide variety of golfers from all 41 PGA Sections and all 50 states. The championship is a 3-day, 54 hole stroke play competition with Women’s (Any Age), Senior Women’s (50+) and Legend Women’s (65+) divisions, each with separate prizing. Donna’s division was the legends 65+. She had 69 in her field and after 36 holes ended up tied for 30th. She said, “For the most part I am happy with my play this weekend and the difference between top 20 and top 30 was two shots into the wind and rain that came up 1 yard short. So Close. Having an opportunity to compete in an event like this, although nerve wracking and exhausting, is an experience that should not be missed. You learn a lot about yourself and your game. You meet women from all over the country and you hear a lot of ‘I played with you last year.’” This was Donna’s second time playing in a National Club Championship.
