Not to brag or boast but there is a great article about STGF on the USGA website right now. “One Local Champion Provides Sunshine To Illinois Golfers” has a great overview of all the programs grants, camp program and the Sunshine Course.
The real hook of the article is Gerry Meyer. Gerry went through the camp program and now volunteers his time at the Sunshine Course here at the Midwest Golf House. He has become very involved in golf; helping coach the Orland Park Special Recreation Association, many play with a pro days and even making a huge impression on Brandt Snedeker.
We really appreciate everything the USGA has done for us, in ten years they have given us $135,640 for the Sunshine Course and other projects. This upcoming Friday, August 21 we are having a ceremony to dedicate the Sunshine Course putting green for all of the USGA’s work for STGF.
