The Challenge at Musket Ridge took place in Fredrick Maryland this past week (August 20 – 26, 2012). This event is one stop on the Symetra Tour- the Road to the LPGA. The Musket Ridge Golf Club, ranked second by Golf Digest is located in Myersville, Md. The best of the best are here to play in Maryland and we had a great week of competition.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Symetra Tour it’s the developmental tour for the LPGA. This is a fantastic opportunity for women to compete at their chance to become professionals. In its 32nd year, we are pleased to have this world class event take place here in Maryland. In fact, six of the current LPGA members are from Maryland.
The top 10 money winners will go on to play in 16 tournaments, with 11 stops in the United States and one in Mexico. This event had 18 different sponsors including PNC Bank, Hood College and Wegmans. Every year the Symetra Tour donates to various charities, donating over 5 million dollars over the past 20 years. All the proceeds from this event will go to the Frederick County Commission for Women.
