You can’t miss her, nor will you ever forget her. During the golf season, Richards is always prowling both courses at Boyne Mountain providing thirsty golfers with drinks and snacks. BUT, she provides more than just food and beverage. Richards is the most energetic and outgoing cart girl you will ever meet. She has been the most passionate advocate for BOYNE Mountain golf for nearly 30 years. It might be fair to say that her effervescent personality and commitment to customer service are two of the reasons why BOYNE Mountain is such a popular golfing destination. “My career has been such a joy,” says Richards. “I’m happy to serve the golfers.

I also offer to take photos for almost every group to record their memory.” When she shows up with drinks and snacks, her level of enthusiasm is infectious.
