The retreat builds on our motto of \u201cmore than a golf tournament\u201d by bringing together members who have excelled in the past year to Pinehurst, the home of American golf, and Pine Needles\/Mid Pines GC, the home of our tour namesake.<\/p>\n<p>Mentorship is a major component of the Linville Cup, with multiple opportunities for players to interact with the coaches and staff. We hope that players will take away many life lessons, a stronger sense of confidence, and friendships to build their golfing careers.<\/p>\n<p>Our coaches are ex-collegiate golfers as well as women business leaders who will share their experiences with the girls. The event provides a unique experience for players to stray away from tournament golf&#8217;s individual mentality and compete and develop in a team environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the Mentor Coaches<\/span><\/h2>\n<h5><b><i>Team Southeast<\/i><\/b><\/h5>\n<table cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"200\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pkbgt.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SueBower-Headshot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15242\" src=\"http:\/\/pkbgt.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SueBower-Headshot-239x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pkbgt.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SueBower-Headshot-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/pkbgt.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SueBower-Headshot.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Sue Bower<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/i>\n<p>Sue Played collegiate golf at Dartmouth College from 1981-85 and majored in Psychology.
