During last year’s Celebrate Cecily – Putt Against the Pros Tournament, Paul Lovas grew more excited as the day went on, not because he had tied the scores of NFL pro Clark Harris and SandPaper mini golf pro David Biggy, but more for the fact that the trophy for the overall winner was closer to being in his grasp. It’s been on the living room mantle since.

“When I saw the trophy with her name on it, that was endearing to me,” said Paul, Cecily’s dad.
