Dear Commissioner Whan,
I want to take this opportunity to let you know about a wonderful event I was honored to attend yesterday in my hometown of Seneca, SC. Austin Ernst (and her dad, Mark Ernst, who is the golf pro for Cross Creek Country Club in Seneca, SC) worked to put together a golf tournament with friends of Austin. This tournament was to benefit the Safe Harbor of Seneca. Safe Harbor is a house for protection of battered and abused women.
With all the negative press today revolving around sports figures throughout the USA, I think it is time for good press about good people and these young ladies absolutely represent the best of the USA today. These young ladies donated their time and efforts for this wonderful cause and I simply want to give accolades where they are deserved, and the are WELL DESERVED IN THE LPGA!! The ladies who participated in the event were: Austin Ernst, Lexi Thompson, Lisa McCloskey, Marina Alex, Amy Anderson, Kim Kaufman, Brittany Lang, Dori Carter and Hannah Collier. We truly need more young folks like this in our society today. Congratulations to the LPGA for having such wonderful representatives.
Respectfully Yours,
Mike
