Teeing It Up with the Guys
When the GolfBC Championship begins this week at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club in Canada, there will be 155 men and one woman playing in the tournament. The lone female will be Jacqueline Bendrick, a 20-year-old member of the women’s golf team at Furman who has been granted a sponsor’s exemption into the tournament.
