Bagpiper: ASGA Golf Awards Banquet Tradition

Kenton Adler has been a tradition of the ASGA Golf Awards Banquet for 10 years now and is shown announcing the "call for dinner" at this year's banquet. Adler, a piper from Lyon College, is shown leading (from left) my mother, Dr. Emogene Fox; my sister, Dr. Dana Fox; and my father, Norris Fox down the hallway leading into the foyer.

Last year's special guests were Ken Duke and Ben Crenshaw and this year's special guest was Kathy Whitworth - I wonder who might be the special guest for 2010?

Surprise Ads Left Me Stunned and Speechless!

WOW! I was stunned. My staff, my wife, my sister and my parents (all shown) were in cahoots with the Arkansas Golfer magazine publisher, Stephanie Hopkins (standing far right), and came up with several surprise congratulatory Hall of Fame advertisements for me in this issue.

The photo was taken just before the awards banquet and I am seeing the magazine ads for the very first time. It was a wonderful, jaw-dropping surprise, with some great photos of me 1977 to present!

Legend of the LPGA and future legend!

Congratulations to all the ASGA Players of the Year, Hall of Fame Inductees and PGA Chapter Award winners from the ASGA Golf Awards Banquet October 29th at Chenal Country Club.

Kathy Whitworth, the all-time leader in professional tournaments won for either men or women, with 88 LPGA Tour titles is shown with 14-year-old Summar Roachell, the ASGA Junior Girl Player of the Year, along with Summar's parents. It was an honor and a privilege to have Kathy Whitworth at this year's banquet. If you did not attend, see what you missed!
