Cullen Blalock, a volunteer starter this week at the LPGA Q-School tournament at Highland Oaks, knew there would be some challenges with pronunciation of names since golfers representing more than
“You get a starting list ahead of time,” Blalock began. “I get it and carry it home a couple of days, read over it, study up, Google some of them if I don’t know how to pronounce them.”“I set a record this time,” he said, pointing to a name on the list. “That’s the most letters I’ve ever had in a name – Natthakritta Vongtaveelap. I didn’t mess it up.”
“This is something people don’t understand … these players are good. There’s a very small difference in what they’re doing and the ones you see on television. A shot here and a shot there makes a difference.” Blalock, who is originally from Abbeville, moved back to the area eight years ago and now lives in Dothan. He regularly volunteers during qualifying school tournaments at Highland Oaks.
Kayla Wilbourn, the golf pro at Highland Oaks, oversees the volunteers and is appreciative of their efforts. “We have some people traveling from Birmingham or traveling from Mobile; we have people traveling from Florida who like to volunteer. We actually have a lot of local volunteers that volunteer every single event that we have, which is great.”“We have people helping us at the range, making sure the players have enough range balls set up,” Wilbourn said. “We have scorers. We have a volunteer with every group. There are 25 groups, so we have live scoring from hole to hole.
