Members of The Wake-Robin Golf Club have been asked to wear something with that club’s colors in it, and I suggest that our members who attend likewise represent LLGA, though this is certainly not a requirement.
During this time of grief, we come together to remember and celebrate the life of Betty Brabble, a cherished member whose impact on Wake-Robin Golf Club will forever be remembered.
Throughout the years, Betty contributed significantly to the club’s events, notably assisting at the registration table for the Helen Webb Harris Annual Scholarship tournaments. Last year, at the age of 94, she continued this tradition. As the eldest member. Betty served for several years as a contributing writer for the African American Golfer’s Digest with her “Ask Betty” column and even traveled to Malaysia on assignment where she played beautiful golf courses during the early days of the magazine.
