Former Arkansan Carolyn Creekmore plays for her second USGA Senior Women's Amateur title tomorrow at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia. Creekmore, who grew up in Fort Smith and now resides in Dallas, also won the title in 2004. Her grandfather, S.W Creekmore is a former state amateur champion and was in the inaugural class of the Arkansas Golf Hall of Fame in 1994. Her brother, Steve Creekmore, III, was elected to the ASGA Board of Directors this year. To follow Carolyn's match hole by hole, go to www.usga.org. GOOD LUCK CAROLYN!
Another former Arkansan came within an eye-lash of playing for the U.S. Senior Amateur in Chicago. John Pallin, a former Radiology Resident at UAMS in Little Rock, now of Kenosha, Wisconsin, lost in the semi-finals today 1-down at The Beverly Club. Pallin defeated 2007 Champion Stan Lee in the first round last year at Shady Oaks in Fort Worth and went on to the quarter-finals. Golf sometimes is rich in irony as many felt John Grace, a member at Shady Oaks would win last year (Buddy Marucci did). Well, Grace has a chance to redeem himself in tomorrow's Championship match in Chicago against 1972 U.S. Amateur Champion Marvin (Vinny) Giles, III.
