In September, Hotlanta got a little hotter when several Chi Chi Rodriguez Junior Golf students visited Atlanta and sampled one of the city's most prestigious golf courses.
The students - Herman Anderson, Tommy Coley, Billy Jackson, Natasha Pick, Tericka Tucker, Jareece Swann, Brandon Walker, Jessica Weathers and Josh Ulatowski - are part of Chi Chi's Junior Golf Apprentice Team and made the trek to the Peach State to be a part of the National Minority Golf Symposium that was being held the same weekend.

During their whirlwind weekend, the Chi Chi students turned Atlanta upside down. They mingled with many of the symposium participants. They took in the sights of Atlanta, including memorable stops at Planet Hollywood and Lenox Mall. And of course, they played some dazzling golf, blazing the challenging fairways and
greens at East Lake Country Club, site of the PGA Tour's Players Championship and the United States Amateur Championships.
Suffice to say, after this thrilling visit by the Chi Chi students, Atlanta will never be the same.
