Seymour Ladies Golf






HEMOCHROMATOSIS is actually too much of a good thing as the ladies at Seymour golf club found out last week. On July 12, the gals held their 12th Annual Charity Ladies Invitational tournament on behalf of the Hemochromatosis Foundation in an effort to help fight this genetic disorder which results in an overload of iron in the body. There was a definite ladybug-like theme to the day as the organizers put on an event to remember. An early tee-off, followed by lunch and prizes rounded out the day all in the name of a very worthy cause.
