Your thoughtful contribution has made a significant impact on our program, and I cannot thank you enough for your support.\r\n\r\nThroughout my coaching tenure, one of the greatest challenges has been ensuring our players have access to proper equipment. Golf can be a costly sport, and many of our students come from families unable to afford the necessary gear. Historically, I have provided much of the equipment to ensure every player has what they need to compete and grow. Your donation of tees and gloves alleviates this burden.\r\n\r\nYour gift directly benefits our student-athletes, many of whom are new to the sport. With quality equipment, our players can practice and compete without the worry of worn-out or inadequate gear. Your generosity ensures that every player, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to shine.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of the entire golf team, our school, and myself, I extend our deepest appreciation for your generosity.

These will be a huge benefit for our team this season. Golf equipment is expensive, so many student-athletes are forced to choose between needs and wants. Many times a good push cart is more of a want than a need. However, when you carry around 14 clubs, dozens of balls, water bottles, snacks and more a cart feels more as a necessary item. When we begin our season, it can be very hot so many of our players will use their umbrellas to give them a little break from the sun. These carts allow them to have their umbrellas up and attached to the cart for protection from the sun and rain. We have also had girls carts break during or right before a round.
