Congratulations to Firethorn member, Laura Saf, who just returned from the U.S. Open Championship at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. Laura was chosen by the USGA to be a Rules Official for the Championship for 2009. It's a great honor to be chosen, and we are very proud of Laura.

On June 8, the "Light the Flame for the Cure" breast cancer rally golf tournament was enjoyed by 120 lady golfers-a sold out event! A committee of 20 from the Firethorn Women's Golf Association began plans for the event in January, culminating in a resoundingly successful day. Contributors from Firethorn and the entire Lincoln community donated over 100 items for raffle and door prizes, and 55 contributors donated to hole and scoreboard sponsorships-totaling over $8,800. The committee wishes to thank all of Firethorn's most generous contributors in helping us exceed our goal in our first rally event. Together we are helping fund research and programs for the treatment and cure of breast cancer. Lisa Huff, Chair

Thanks to Perry Dye we now have the original Pete Dye video of Firethorn available on this Web site. Please go to "History" - "The Early Years" section on the Web site (or just click this link) to download and play the video. It lasts about 20 minutes and requires a high speed Internet connection.

We hope you enjoy this classic!
