The founders have a lot of stories to share with todays players, about the challenges they faced starting the tour in 1950, when they began barnstorming across the United States to promote their events.Sporks best barnstorming story might be the time she crawled into a tiny car at a circus in Oklahoma.I got in the car with 12 midgets, Spork said. I squeezed in there with them.And crawled out with them in the center ring to tell the crowd about the LPGA tournament coming to their town that week.More than anyone, the Founders event can attest to how far this tour has come.We never knew it would be as big as it is today, Smith said. We never dreamed it.There are also three pioneers being honored this week. Amy Alcott, Sandy LaBauve and Susie Maxwell Berning will join the founders aside the 18th green.Its fun to reflect, said LaBauve, who founded LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. This is a week that makes you do that.

I can feel alone sometimes as a young wife. Most in our society today do not get married young and young marriage is often looked down upon. Those who didn't know my husband and I very well, thought we were nuts to get married at 19 and 21.
