Golf Community Finds Ways to Honor Slain Golfer

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - When a member of a family suffers from tragedy, everyone in the family feels the pain as well. Last month a member of the golfing family was killed, and that pain has been felt throughout the golf community. On Monday, Sept. 17, former Iowa State golfer Celia Barquin Arozamena was murdered, in what appeared to be a random act, while playing at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa.

The incident was a shock to the entire golf community and players and coaches are still trying to wrap their heads around what happened.
