Western Golf Assoc./ Evans Scholar Foundation Recipient of Walking Golfer Award
« on: January 19, 2011, 08:56:39 PM »
This past Saturday the Western Golf Association and Evans Scholar Foundation convened for an Evans Scholar selection meeting at North Shore CC in Glen View IL. During one of the breaks the WGA was awarded  The Walking Golfer of the Year award. This was a very nice compliment to an organization that has long championed the support of caddy programs at clubs in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. As many of you already know the Evans Scholarship is the largest privately funded college scholarship in the US,with over 850 students in school. Nice presentation of a plaque and bag to the WGA/ESF. Great Day!

I couldn't agree more!  The WGA Evans Scholars is something every purist golfer should support.

At one time (may still be), I was the youngest Life Member at the WGA.  A terrific investment in young people.

Chris, Thank you for your generosity towards the program. We havemany GCAers who are very involved both financially and timewise. Robb rigg was actually present Saturday but I unfortunately did not have a chance to meet him. My clubBeverly is blessed to have 30 Life members of the par club-as you are well aware a very substantial contribution for a younger person.
                        Thanks again,  Jack
