Hawthorns Golf & Country Club MAY 28-JUNE 3
And she won’t need a road map to get around The Hawthorns Golf and Country Club, a challenging 18-hole, par-72 championship layout designed by world renowned architect Arthur Hills, when she tees off in the LPGA My Marsh Golf Classic May 28-June 3.
Brittany, who attended Hamilton Southeastern High School and graduated with academic honors in 2007, played many of her matches at The Hawthorns. She also qualified for her first U.S. Girls Junior, and was the Mid-American Conference runner-up while playing for Ball State University.
She’s happy to be coming home. Her dad’s happy, too. He’s the varsity girls golf coach at Carmel High school. Ken Kelly coached both the boys and girls teams for five seasons, beginning in 2000-01,and then resigned to concentrate on the girls golf team. He has spent many summers carrying the bag for his daughter. And he’ll be on her bag for the LPGA Marsh Golf Classic.
“I’m excited to be here and to have dad on my bag again,’’ said Brittany Kelly, who lives at home with her parents in Fishers when she’s not on the road with the LPGA Symetra Tour.
