Longtime LPGA tournament volunteer Dave Hamada was nicknamed “LPGA Super Fan” by a Tour player years ago, and not surprisingly, that tag has stuck.
A native of Hawaii, Hamada has attended more than 180 LPGA tournaments and has volunteered at more than 110 events throughout the nation. He has volunteered for as many as eight events each year since the 1990s.
