Kirk won the Thornberry Classic this year, her third LPGA title. Some people ask me if I feel obligated to give back to the game, Kirk said. I think its a privilege.Heather Farr Perseverance Award Tiffany Joh, who had surgery to remove a malignant melanoma earlier this year, thanked the Farr family and all those who supported Joh through her diagnosis and recovery.I found a great quote from Ram Dass, We are all just walking each other home, Joh said. Ive really come to understand the value of all my relationships, no matter how fleeting or profound they seem.The Commissioners Award Roberta Bowman, outgoing chair of the LPGA Board of Directors, was honored for her service the last six years. LPGA commissioner Mike Whan called her my friend, my boss and my hero. Bowman deflected the praise for her back on to the tour, thanking Whan, LPGA staff, players, sponsors, fans and the media.The world needs more role models for little girls, Bowman said. And they dont need to look much farther than the LPGA.Ellen Griffin Rolex Award and Nancy Lopez Golf Achievement Award Sandy LaBauve, who founded the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program, was honored as the first person to win both these awards.The Griffin Award honors golf teachers and the Lopez Award honors an LPGA professional who emulates the values Lopez demonstrated.
