Happy Independence Day from all of us at The Donna Andrews Invitational! What an awesome week it’s been... feeling blessed and grateful for this great country of ours, and even though it’s a small thing in the big picture of what’s happening in the world, we were so happy to host 87 women amateur golfers for competition, camaraderie and some great golf this past week.
Congratulations to two-time Senior Division Champion Joan Gardner, who fired a final round 75 to catch runner-up Mimi Hoffman and win by two! Third place finisher Joanne Kitusky had the low round of the Senior Division tournament, carding 71 (-1) in the final round! Well done, ladies!!
The Donna Division of The Donna Andrews Invitational is our Junior/Mid-Am division and was won by 13 year old Kathryn Ha who carded three stellar rounds of 74-72-74 to win by 12 shots over runner-up Kelli Scheck @ckscheck. 3rd Place went to @lynchburg_wgolf commit Emily Brubaker @ecbrubaker. Congratulations, ladies!
That’s a wrap at the 2020 Donna Andrews Invitational. @bethlillie_3 is our Champion, firing an impeccable final round 67 (-5) that included an eagle, 4 birdies and a lone bogey to finish with a three day total of 209 (-7) to win by 6 over @rdinunzio
It’s day three at The Donna Andrews Invitational, and what a leaderboard we have! After brilliant -3 rounds of 69 yesterday, your leaders are UVA’s @bethlillie_3 and JMU’s @anatsiross who stand at -2 (142) for the tournament. But there is a stacked field with 12 players within 5 shots of the lead including defending Champion @mkirk2134 and @brynnwalker5 (both pictured here)! Swipe to see one of the best parts of our event... Mom (and Dad) Caddies!
The Donna wouldn’t be the great event it is without our amazing sponsors. Can’t thank them enough for their generous support!!! Our presenting sponsor @staleyjm - Ameriprise Blackwater Group; Gold Sponsors @nhuften - Apple Ford and @kathleen.washburn - Massage Envy; Silver Sponsors @scott_buckner - Jersey Mike’s and David Shields - Campbell Insurance; Media Sponsor Kelly Mirt - News & Advance; Hotel Sponsor - The Daly Seven
Round one is in the books at The Donna. Three players are under par, one at E, and a log jam at +1 including @alexandraswayne and Nicole Adam (both pictured here on the beautiful 18th). Defending Champion @mkirk2134 turned in a solid -1, and first time Donna player @brynnwalker5 is at -2, but the day belonged to Columbia University’s @lex.florio who carded a sizzling 32 on the back nine to post 69 (-3)!
Preparations are complete, practice rounds are done, the course is in great shape, and we’re ready to put a tee in the ground and determine a Champion in three divisions...Open, Donna and Senior. Thank you to all the players who’ve come from all over the country to make this tournament something special! See you tomorrow @thedonna2019
It’s almost tournament time @boonsborocc for The Donna Andrews Invitational. We can’t wait to see this incredibly talented field tackle one of the truly iconic VA golf courses. #Boonsboro1923
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there, and especially those that introduced their daughters to this great game. We hope to see many of you “on the bag” at The Donna in 7️⃣ days. One of the big reasons we think caddies are such a differentiator for our tournament is the special memories created by having Dad as a looper!
1️⃣0️⃣ Days out! Who’s ready to take home the hardware this year??
That’s right...we’re playing the “black tees” in the Open Division!! Expect a stern test for those accepted in the Open, as 6200-6300 yards is deceptively long at BCC! 1️⃣5️⃣ days before we tee it up at “The Donna”. The Committee and Staff can’t wait.
More confirmation letters went out tonight. It’s been a very difficult process selecting the field this year... and we’re not quite done yet. Look for more confirmed players as the week goes on. Welcome @kayla_smith11 @saaam1028 @emily_d42 @obxgolfgirl @rdinunzio
The grand old Oak tree on the front lawn and adjacent to the 9th tee sadly won’t be there when The Donna gets underway on June 28. She’s leaning at 78 degrees and is perilously close to falling down. With sad hearts, BCC has made the decision to proactively take the nearly 200 year old tree down to avoid any potential harm to members and guests. 😢😢
The first set of confirmation letters have gone out... and the field is loaded with WAGR ranked players. Welcome @jackie_rogowicz @lgreenlief13 @emilyhawkins__ @bethlillie_3 @brynnwalker5 @mkirk2134. The selection process is not complete, so look for more confirmation letters over the next several days! We can’t wait to welcome such a talented group of players to BCC in 2️⃣2️⃣ days!
Who’s ready for some competitive golf?? We’re 2️⃣8️⃣ days away from putting a peg in the ground for what is shaping up to be one of the best women’s amateurs this summer. The field already boasts 5 players in the top 500 WAGR, but there is still time to be considered. Registration closes in 1️⃣0️⃣ days!!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend from The Donna and Boonsboro Country Club. We look forward to welcoming a full field of elite players at the end of June.
Boonsboro Country Club is in fantastic shape... join an elite field on this “fabled VA golf course” for WAGR ranking points. Registration will remain open until June 15. Returning players... can you guess what hole this is?
Very excited to announce that our defending champion Marissa Kirkwood will be returning this year for the Donna Andrews invitational. Marissa is currently ranked 277th in the WAGR.
Welcome back!
The first tee shot from The Open Division in The Donna Andrews Invitational 2019. We look forward to hosting you all again, June 26-28, 2020.
