Chicks & Sticks + Bubs with Clubs: WIP’s Summer Golf Tournament!

ISPE’s Women in Pharma (WIP) committee hosted our first ever golf tournament at Sagamore Spring Golf Club in Lynnfield, MA on Monday, August 1^st. We had over 75 attendees, sold out in three days, and had perfect weather to tee-off at 9am and enjoy 18 holes in a scramble format. After the tournament concluded, players congregated for more networking in the clubhouse.

The highlight of the day was seeing and feeling the support amongst our group. The leadership and coaching of those who regularly practice the game and the courage and persistence of those who are new to the game was inspiring; we hope each and every one of you come back again! We also had a special guest, professional golfer, Marisa Messana, making her rounds to offer tips and tricks throughout the day. Thank you for joining us, Marisa!

We would like to extend our gratitude to all the sponsors of this event and a huge shout-out to Caren Jenkins, WIP committee chair and golf tournament coordinator, who started with the idea to get more women out on the greens and saw it through execution. Way to go, Caren! 🙂
