Results From the Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am
As I look back on the fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am, I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am and how pleased I am with how everything went, especially the great results for charity. We raised nearly $180,000 for charity – LA’s BEST and Park Century School, our official beneficiaries, as well as for the Dinah Shore Foundation. To have such great support from my friends and fellow LPGA pros, to celebrate the history of Dinah Shore and the Kraft Nabisco Championship and to raise such important funds for charity made this a win-win weekend for sure. Thank you to all of my friends, family and fans for your support of this inaugural event. We look forward to what the future holds.

“The High Definition Golf simulator is truly the most accurate technology for indoor golf I’ve come across. Not only do I love the accuracy, the image quality is spectacular, beyond the great technology it’s a wonderful way to spend time improving your golf game or sharing time with friends and family. With the video swing analysis and the new shaft flex module, I believe indoor golf lessons with a golf professional and the High Definition Golf simulator to be unparalled.”
