On Thursday, September 30th I played golf with Women Who Golf member Cheryl Chandler and two of her friends in the beautiful setting at the Birdwood Golf Course.
Birdwood is at the Boars Head Resort in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Birdwood and the The Boars Head Resort have a very storied history tracing back to Thomas Jefferson and the Civil War. Read about that here.
Birdwood was acquired by the University of Virginia in 1974 and was redesigned by Lindsay Ervin into the amazing golf course it is today.

Cheryl also arranged to get me a nice discount for a stay at the Boars Head Resort. Maybe even more important, though, she also arranged for a much-needed massage on the day of my arrival. My back had been screaming at me for a while and the massage was a most welcome pampering session.
Birdwood is a beautiful course and I think you can tell playing with Cheryl, Stosh, and Nancy was a lot of fun. If you ever get to the Charlottesville area I highly recommend staying at the Boarshead Resort and playing at the Birdwood Golf Course.
Thanks, Cheryl, for taking care of me, my aching back and arranging such a fun group and memorable experience in Charlottesville, Virginia!
I was pleased to see a youth development session going on when I first arrived at Birdwood.

As many of you know, this trip is also about raising awareness and funds for the First Tee youth development program.
This program is way more than about teaching kids golf.
It is about teaching kids life skills, developing better students, and creating future leaders. What could be more important than that?
I want to thank my major sponsor Doghouse Motor Sports for their generous contribution to our youth!
