Pat’s golfing achievements include the Doris Chapman Memorial Award, as Match Play Champion in 1988, 1990, 1995 and 1997.  Pat is also a recipient of the Bernice Edlunds Award (MWGA), which is presented annually to a MWGA member who has "promoted the aims of the association and set an ideal standard of conduct by her devotion to golf, demeanor on the golf course, strict       observance of the rules and etiquette of the game and demonstrated a high degree of sportsmanship".  No doubt that describes Pat perfectly.
