The Bidwell Park Women’s Golf Club hosted a Pink Guest Day in support of the Enloe Foundation Lymphedema Clinic last week.
The tournament was a great success, raising over $4,000 for the clinic. The tournament committee solicited the talents of the Chico State women’s golf team members to hit the players’ drives over Big Chico Creek on the par 4, No. 13 hole. Probably a good call.
