Welcome!

Spring heralded the birth of a new fundraising project for the PGA TOUR Wives Association with Walk the Course Against Domestic Violence, a partnership with the Avon Foundation and the Quail Hollow Championship. Walk the Course was a unique event for the Association and brought walkers in the Charlotte, NC area to the golf course of a PGA TOUR tournament to raise money and awareness for support of programs against domestic violence. And what an event it was! Read about the success and excitement of this event in the Fundraising section of this website. We followed that up the next week during THE PLAYERS Championship with our These Kids Can Play - Paintfest event and had a wonderful time with the children and families from Community PedsCare. See their story in the Volunteering section of this website.

During the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, our PGA TOUR Family came together in honor and support of one of our own. We partnered with the tournament and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to raise breast cancer awareness during a Pink Out on Saturday. And we're just getting started on our summer schedule!

In June, we will be in Hartford, CT with the Travelers Championship to host Taste of the TOUR, a charity winetasting featuring PGA TOUR Player wine labels and benefitting The Hole in the Wall Gang and the Greater Hartford Jaycees. From there, we will travel to Washington DC and the AT&T National tournament and visit the wounded warriors at Mologne House at Walter Reed Army Hospital. There, our players and families will join Birdies for the Brave in hosting an evening of great bar-b-que and family fun in the courtyard of the house. Our Nationwide Tour Wives will also be busy this summer with several projects in the planning stages. The first is Fill the Cart with Fun benefitting the Nationwide Children's Hospital.

And there's much more to come. See this website for more details on these and other volunteer service projects and fundraisers our Association has planned for the upcoming months.

See you on the road!

Athena's Recipe for Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb whole chicken (cook chicken at 350 for 1 1/2 hour OR buy a pre-cooked chicken)
  • 2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 pt (16 oz) sour cream
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded), more as desired
  • 2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded), more as desired
  • 12 flour tortillas 

Optional:

  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 can Rotell diced tomatoes (mexican style)
  • small can of chopped olives

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel all the meat off the chicken and put in a large bowl.  Combine the Cream of Chicken soup, milk, sour cream, and half of the cheese.  Combine half of this mixture with the peeled chicken. (If you would like a little kick, add the taco seasoning, the can of Rotell diced tomatoes, and half the can of olives.)  Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture and wrap up like burritos. Place in a 13 x 9 cake pan.  Cover the enchiladas with the remaining half of the sauce and cheese (if you added olives to the chicken mixture, sprinkle the remaining olives on top.)  Cook uncovered for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
