MT. PLEASANT, S.C., May 13, 2008 – The Ginn Tribute Hosted by ANNIKA is offering its fans a stellar opportunity to follow his or her favorite LPGA star up close and enjoy their personalities in a more relaxed and intimate setting before the tournament’s intense, 72-hole competition takes place the ensuing four days.
