Inside The Ropes: ShopRite LPGA Classic at Seaview Bay
The LPGA ShopRite Classic has a long standing history. Being played nearly 40 years, it has been known as the opening of summer at the Jersey Shore, and been a stage for future LPGA superstars to meet the fans, and even post a low number.
The week after winning the US Open, Yuka Saso made it from Lancaster CC down to Seaview Bay and gave fans an up close look at their game.
This year was different for me. I was no longer going as a patron. I was part of the show.
Gaining ‘Inside the Ropes’ access was something I did not take lightly. Understanding that I needed to be in certain positions, and provide a different level of golfer etiquette.
Covering this tournament from crawling under ropes and sweating in the heat, showed me that any moment of a tournament can slow down, go completely silent, and capture a moment of greatness.
