July kicks off a very busy qualifier and championship month here in the Miami Valley. These important events would not run as smoothly or be as enjoyable if we did not have a great group of volunteers assisting us in many aspects of our events.

For those who are volunteering this Month, if you would like to review your assignments follow the links below.

special Photo from the us senior OPEN

As the Senior Open was just a few hours away the USGA provided two tickets for each day of the Championship to be raffled off to our volunteers from the US Open Sectional at Springfield in early June.

On Thursday, Tracy Murray and her husband where able to attend using those tickets and she was not disappointed being able to get a photo with Jack Nicklaus who was there to watch his son Gary play.
