Why “Beauties Vs. The Beast?” A little history…
The Beauties vs. The Beast Tournament began in 2013 as the committee from the Persimmon Ridge Ladies Golf Association was inspired to bring to this region a new tournament for ladies that would benefit young women in need in our community. 2025 marks the 12th anniversary of this successful tournament.
The name "Beauties vs. The Beast" was a fun poke at a challenging golf course, Persimmon Ridge, that can be intimidating, but also fun and rewarding to play.
After choosing Maryhurst to support as an important local charity that helps restore hope and healing to young women and children, the name developed even greater significance. Young women at Maryhurst have suffered unimaginable challenges and often Maryhurst is the last resort for them to receive help and healing from the "beasts" in their lives.
Because of the wonderful participation and generous hearts of women golfers, contributions from many amazing sponsors in the community, and the work of a large team of volunteers donating their time and resources, we are grateful to have been able to donate more than $200,000 since the tournament began.

About Maryhurst
Founded in 1843, Maryhurst is the oldest nonprofit in the state of Kentucky serving kids and families facing crisis.
The child abuse rate in Kentucky is unacceptable, affecting kids well into adulthood.
People who suffer trauma as children experience changes to their brains' chemistry and development. These effects are long-lasting, impacting survivors’ physical and mental health. Children who have endured trauma live with increased risk of harmful behaviors, lowered self-worth and a distrust that threatens interpersonal connection with others. Without the right kind of restorative work, the cycle of abuse continues.
We work together with kids and families to build resilience and a sense of worth.
Because we believe each child is inherently worthy of life, we’ve made a promise to be attentive to the messages and humanity behind each behavior, negative or otherwise. Our relationships with kids and families are partnerships. We treat survivors with respect and trust them as the experts of their own lived experience. We work to transform the lives of more than 800 children and their families every single year.
