Ladies Day at the Viking Classic
Madison, MS
By Heather Gove

At the inaugural Ladies Day during the Viking Classic at Annandale Golf Club, the day began early Thursday morning with breakfast and a welcome from Tournament Director Randy Watkins. PGA TOUR Wives Board members Julie Petrovic and Heather Gove were the guest speakers. Together, they discussed life and motherhood on TOUR, as well as their involvement in the PGA TOUR Wives Association and its mission of Giving Back and took questions about how it was all managed day to day. "It was wonderful to get the word out about the PTWA and see the wonderful response from the ladies who attended. They were all very impressed with how the wives handle life on the road and that we are striving to make a change in each town the TOUR visits," said Heather Gove. It was also an honor to have the Mayor of Madison, Mary Hawkins-Butler attend the event. We appreciated her support and encouragement for all of the women participating in the day.

The day continued with a cooking demonstration by the Deen Brothers, Bobby and Jamie, at the Viking Culinary Tent and followed by a wine and cheese tasting. It was standing room only in Madison and a wonderful day for all the ladies who attended.
