Kay Yow Golf Classic
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope the off-season is treating you well. I’m reaching out today to ask you to save the date for
what promises to be a fantastic event — the Kay Yow Golf Event on August 16th and 17th.
Many of you live in the Greensboro area or are within an easy drive, and I would love for you to
join us. This event is always an enjoyable and meaningful experience filled with great fellowship
and fun activities.
The weekend begins on Sunday, August 16th, with a welcome reception at Grandover Country
Club. The reception features outstanding food and drinks, golf simulators, excellent speakers,
and great camaraderie. We’ve had tremendous turnout in past years, and we would love to
continue that tradition. Let’s increase the officials’ presence as we proudly stand out once again
in our “highlighter” T-shirts!
Back by popular demand, we are excited to announce our 2nd Annual Pickleball Outing! Also
returning is DJ Kihei, guaranteed to provide entertainment for everyone. The pickleball outing
will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Sedgefield Country Club prior to the reception.
No experience is necessary — but having a great time is required!
On Monday morning, August 17th, the golf tournament tees off at 7:00 a.m. at Grandover
Country Club.
Please know that you are welcome to participate in all of the activities or simply choose the ones
that interest you most. You do not have to play golf to attend the reception, and you do not have
to attend the reception to participate in pickleball.
I’ve included the registration link below. When registering, please remember to indicate that you
are an official. We would love to see you there and hope you’ll join us for a memorable and
worthwhile weekend.
Sincerely,
Karen Preato

For those of you planning to attend the reception, please provide Dee Kantner your T-
shirt size. As mentioned above, she likes to dress us in obnoxiously loud colors to let
everyone see our incredible turn-out. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to reach out to Dee or myself.
