America’s Most Decorated Gymnast, Shannon Miller, former WNBA player Rebecca Lobo, and U.S. Women's Soccer player Julie Foudy will speak during the clinic and take part in a question-and-answer session.
"The reason we selected these athletes in particular was every single one of them plays golf regularly," said Mimi Griffin, the 2009 Women's Open executive director. "We thought there was a wonderful connection there. Even though golf wasn't their chosen sport, they can speak about golf as a life-time sport."
