Did you know that the Alliance of Professional Women has its own golf league? Not only that but the league is organized by our very own member (and 2022 Colorado Golf Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement award winner), Ann Wolta Blackstone.
In the video below, Ann is giving us a quick lesson in pitching before the league hits the course.

I am 60 years old and a 3-time survivor of breast cancer! I have 2 children- Bryan 35 and Bre 31. My husband’s name is Tom Blackstone.
My golf journey began when I was 10 years old when I played as a junior golfer in Arizona. I played on the girls’ golf team and earned a scholarship to play golf at ASU.
After college, I moved to Colorado and became an LPGA Teaching Professional and have been teaching golf for 37 years and coaching junior golfers for 8 years. I have been a Head Golf Coach for St. Mary’s Academy Girls’ Golf team for 5 years.
As a breast cancer survivor, I am very involved in raising money for the Colorado Komen affiliation and serve on the board of Hope Held by a Horse which is an equine therapy program for breast cancer survivors. I was the Tournament Director of the Indian Tree Rally for the Cure for 10 years.
