Georgia McCravey hits out of a bunker as she participates in the 75th annual Chattanooga Women’s Golf Association Championship on Tuesday at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.Owning the title of Chattanooga Women’s Amateur champion means something special.
It’s a distinction to be proud of.
The likes of Pearl Green‚ who won the first six championships, 10-time champ Betty Probasco and Judy Eller Street, who won her first city title in 1963 and her last 33 years later, were stewards of the tournament that is celebrating its 75th anniversary this week with competition at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.
“I don’t think many cities have a women’s championship tradition like we do in Chattanooga,” Probasco said. “Seventy-five years is quite a record. I remember that me and Judy Eller Street had some great matches.
“It was always wonderful and great competition, and a great place to get added experience to go onto state, sectional and national events.”
