The Club Match Play Championship was again won by Academy student, Dr. Todd Reaves. One of our students won the AGA State Match Play Championship, while our elite junior girls contend in regional and national tournaments. Our ladies programs continue to grow under Liz’s guidance with over 140 ladies now engaged in either instruction or regular play days! We are well on the way to our goal of reaching 200 by the end of 2016. September 9th -10thwewill host our Kickoff Classic Golf School featuring the renowned Carl Lohren as our guest Instructor.
