Mad River Legacy Golf Program Update
The legacy program, a direct component of hosting the Women’s Mid-Am Championship, is now underway! This initiative demonstrates Mad River’s commitment to growing the game of golf by creating a coaching program for a select group of young women from local high schools who could potentially be future players for this important “midam” demographic.
This month’s pilot program, coached by Stephanie & Ahren, will introduce golf skills for further development. The girls will be encouraged to select a name for the program using Legacy as an acronym: (great idea PA & David Allen)
L-learning
E-enjoying
G-golf
A-and of course “Mad River” included in the name
C-camaraderie
Y-YAHOO! (The best part! We want them to have a great time!)
Feedback will be gathered from the group to assist in planning next year’s sessions. Please keep an eye open to welcome and encourage these young athletes, Monday evenings throughout August.
The Mad River board has offered their support with some residual funding from the tournament. Levelwear and Titleist have expressed an interest in providing shirts and equipment. A few other anonymous sponsors have already stepped up. If you are interested in being a part of this community initiative please reach out to Gary Ward.
Thank you, Susan Quigley, Mad River Tournament Chair for the Women’s Mid-Am Heather Johnston & Dean Elliott, Legacy Committee Co-Chairs.
