Symetra LPGA Futures Tour Returns To Sweetgrass

HARRIS---Some of the best ladies golfers in the world have returned to the Upper Peninsula this week for the Symetra Tour's Road to the LPGA at the Sweetgrass Golf Course in Harris. There are 144 golfers entered in the 54-hole event.

The Island Resort Championships start with tee times at 7:30 Friday morning, with 2011 Marquette High School graduate Carley Saint-Onge playing in one of the first pairings.
 

Nicole Smith of California.

The ladies who will play in this professional golf event were  in town all week getting ready for the three-day, 54-hole event.

One of the golfers, Nicole Smith of Riverside, California and the University of Tennessee, says that she is having a blast here in the Upper Peninsula.

Smith especially likes staying with "host families" instead of staying in a hotel.
