Colette Murray remembers the last time her University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s golf program hosted a tournament.
It snowed.
Conditions were miserable on that April day in 2009 at Lookout Mountain Golf Club. Murray vowed never to host another tournament as long as she coached.
“One of the funniest things I’ve ever heard on a golf course came from Myra Blackwelder, who played on the LPGA Tour and coached Kentucky in that tournament,” Murray said. “She came to me on the fourth hole and said to me, ‘I’ve played all over the world in every kind of condition, and I’ve never been more miserable on a golf course.'”
Murray has amended her vow with a view toward the future.
