"With two weeks of practice before Catawba's invitational, the plan is to get the ladies dialed in with their swings and get them feeling more confident over the golf ball," Bunker continued. I enjoyed hosting at our home course, TPC Piper Glen, and look forward to hosting again next season."
 
Queens will be back in action in the Rendleman Invitational hosted by Catawba College, October 7-8.
