Now that July is over, we are looking forward to the 120th Massachusetts Women's Amateur! In order to feel the most prepared for the event, I went straight to the expert. Cat Carmignani makes a return to The Up & Down to fill us in on what's to know, who's to watch, and what's been going on in the women's sector of Mass Golf. Not only do we see some great names on the tee sheets for the upcoming championship that are a must see, we also have great opportunities for the Mass Golf community to get involved through volunteering, make history with an all-female official team, and watch as we crown this year's champion. Click the "play" button above to watch and learn about this year's 120th Massachusetts Women's Amateur Championship. We also hope to see you there!
