Six members of the Academy Leo club, with La Pietra Leos, worked at the Sony Open golf tournament as official PGA marshals at the Waialae Country Club on Jan. 16-17.

The Leos were responsible for crowd control to help golfers concentrate on their game as well as keep the crowds away from balls before the players got to them.

Senior Alexandria Montiel said, “It was a unique experience to see the professional golfers. Holding up the signs for crowd control was very tiring because we did that for most of the day.”

Leo club adviser, Whitney Miyahira, said, “The girls were lucky to be able to volunteer for this event. Normally the volunteers should be 18 years or older, but they gave us an exception!
