MONROE TOWNSHIP — LPGA legend Jan Stephenson will be at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe Township on May 19 for a golf clinic, a tournament and a dinner that will highlight her signature wines. The club is offering nonmembers a limited number of playing spots in the tournament, as well as the wine dinner only, and reservations are now being accepted.
“Jan is one of the LPGA’s greatest players, and we’re looking forward to having her here,” said Chris Schiavone, managing partner of Forsgate Country Club. “This is a great opportunity for our members and the public to spend a day with Jan and sample her wines.”
Two packages are available for non-members: 1) The clinic, 18-hole tournament on the historic Banks Course, lunch on the course, cocktail reception and wine dinner, and a bottle of Jan’s wine for $145.00 per person (plus tax/service); or 2) The wine dinner only for $95.00 (plus tax/service).
Net proceeds from the golf tournament will benefit Jan Stephenson’s Crossroads Foundation, which supports combat-wounded, blind and disabled veterans and first responders. For further details, contact Carolyn Andrews at cmckenzieandrews@forsgatecc.com.
During her illustrious career, Stephenson won 16 LPGA titles and three majors, including the 1983 U.S. Women’s Open and the 1982 LPGA Championship. In all, the native Australian captured 41 worldwide professional wins. She plays select tournaments on the LPGA Legends Tour. Stephenson was honored earlier this year with the Order of Australia Medal for her contributions to golf and her global fundraising efforts for nonprofits.
