Kathy Whitworth, incredible person, and golfer, who passed away on Christmas eve.  For those of us that have met her, played in her tournament, worked with her as part of the VOA LPGA tournament, and other events; it was an honor and a privilege to be her friend.  This article by Art Stricklin as he talked of Kathy with Cathy Harbin, PGA Master Professional & LPGA Golf Professional, is the essence of Kathy. https://golf.com/news/kathy-whitworth-greatness-rooted-more-than-winning/

As you think of Kathy, what was the 1st time that you met her?
For me, Diana Gats, it was in Canton, OH in 2003; when she was at my home and later met with longtime LPGA friend, Rene Powell.
