Foooooooort St. John golfer to begin LPGA season

The tournament is the first Future’s Tour tournament of the season, and Dreher has been slated in the tenth grouping to start the event. Her tournament starting tee time is at 8:55 a.m.

She will be paired up with Misun Cho, of Cheongju, South Korea and Sofie Andersson of Angelholm, Sweden. The three will begin their tournament on the par-4, 359 yard tenth hole.

The 18-hole Lake Region Yacht and Country Club golf course consists of 6,562 yards from its longest tees, and sits at a par 72. According to the LPGA website, the course offers a varying degree of elevation along the fairways, with fast and challenging greens and is an excellent test for all levels of play.

The game of golf may not be the only challenge facing Dreher this weekend, as Mother Nature is also throwing a wrench into her gears. The projected forecast for Winter Haven, Florida during the span of the tournament is cloudy with up to a 40 per cent chance of rain and possible thunderstorms.

Despite the less than ideal conditions, a win could mean a significant pay day for Dreher, as last year’s winner took home $15,400.
