This EarthWorks Podcast celebrates the 29 female volunteers of the recent US Women’s Open held at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. This podcast includes three separate, but related, interviews. We begin with Troy Flanagan, The Director of Golf Maintenance discussing his historic vision to build a large team of female volunteers for the tournament grounds crew. Troy talks about how satisfying the experience was and the incredible energy that these women brought to the event.
We also have the pleasure to speak with two of the women who worked on that crew, Lorabeth West of Hillcrest CC in Los Angeles and Jessica Lenihan from Hayden Lake CC in Hayden Lake, Idaho. Lorabeth and Jessica both express what an exceptional experience this event was for all of the volunteers.
