CSP is proud to partner with the 2012 Symetra Classic, a stop on the Symetra Tour – Road to the LPGA! The 2012 Symetra Classic will take place September 10-16, 2012 at the Raintree Country Club in South Charlotte and will bring together a field of 144 women professional golfers from around the world and across the United States. The Symetra Tour – Road to the LPGA is the developmental tour of the LPGA, whose mission is to prepare the very best young professional women golfers for a successful career on the LPGA Tour. Every year, the top 10 Symetra Tour players earn automatic membership to play on the LPGA Tour. The tour includes nearly 30 players with North Carolina ties, as well as many of the stars of the most recent season of the hit Golf Channel show, “Big Break: Atlantis.”
This event is for the entire family to enjoy all week long and support women’s golf and the next generation of LPGA superstars. I personally am thrilled to see Charlotte bring a women’s golf event of this caliber to Charlotte! It’s about time we lift up these Smarty women in golf!
The Smarty Symetra Giveaway
One lucky Smarty will win (1) Daddy/Daughter Golf Clinic Slot (these are coveted spots as it’s an exclusive sold-out event!) on Thursday afternoon.

I love it when my hubby plays golf because 6 hours away for him means 6 hours away for me (hopefully at spa?? A girl can dream…)
I love it when my hubby plays golf with my daughter because it is their special time together.
I love it when my hubby plays golf because I see “me” time (a.k.a a trip to SouthPark mall) in my very near future!
I love it when my hubby plays golf because it means there is always a hilarious story about how the ball got lost… or how it got stuck in a tree… or how he managed to hit the ball twice with one swing…
I love it when my hubby plays golf with my kids, it is much needed quality time.
I love it when my hubby plays golf because it is usually with me!
I love it when my hubby plays golf because I’m secretly hoping that the beautiful greens will inspire him to cut our grass! 😉
he doesn’t anymore 🙁 If he did I could earn some serious me time!!!
I love it when my hubby plays golf because he usually brings along one of our two girls. They love that special time doing a sport that just the two of them enjoy. They alway’s come home with special memories.
I love when my hubby plays golf because it gives him the relaxation he needs after a long week of being Mr. Mom.
I love it when I play golf because I love being outdoors, and for the past several years, I have brought my girls along to be my “caddies”–they mostly love to eat snacks and help drive the golf cart, but they both run to the green every time I putt and practice with their toy golf clubs. I hope they both learn to enjoy the game someday!! We would love a lesson from Dana Rader:)
I love it when my hubby plays golf because he comes home with the biggest smile.
