Mayor Reginald A. Spinello attended the recent media kick off for the 114^th USGA (United States Golf Association) Women's Amateur Championship which is being held this summer, August 4 through 10, at Nassau Country Club in Glen Cove. In August, 156 of the top female amateur golfers will compete at Nassau Country Club and at stake will be the Robert Cox Trophy, the oldest trophy that the USGA awards in a women’s championship, as well as the title of champion.

Mayor Spinello said, “The USGA’s selection of Nassau Country Club to host the championship is a shining example of Glen Cove’s historic significance to golf, and a tribute to our ability to host a national golf championship. The golf course and our community will be showcased to the world for five days on the Golf Channel. We need to fully embrace this event to ensure it is a great experience for the players, USGA officials, media and spectators.” Pictured left to right Shannon Rouillard USGA, Drew Polhaski Nassau Golf Professional, Mayor Reginald Spinello, Eric Carlstrom fund raising chair and Kathy beard USGA
