7/9/13 - SNAG® Golf Tournament raised funds for 5
kits
Matt Shaner, PGA Professional at the Kearney Country Club, is proud to announce that the Tasha Keiter Memorial Golf Tournament was a great success. With the purchasing power of the Nebraska Section of the PGA, the funds raised will be used to purchase 5 SNAG® kits. Starting New At Golf (SNAG®) is a program that teaches golf basics to K-5 elementary students. It instills values while educating students in the game of golf using age-appropriate equipment. The core values of SNAG® are Discipline, Etiquette, Honesty, Integrity, Patience, Respect, Self Control, Persistence, and Teamwork. The Tasha Keiter Memorial Youth Golf Fund was established with the Kearney Area Community Foundation as a way to bring this program to Central Nebraska. The curriculum has been approved by Kearney Public Schools for implementation in their Physical Education department. This program will impact over 2600 elementary students. With the cooperation of the Physical Education Teachers in the Kearney Public School System, SNAG® will be offered in the 10 public elementary schools for the 2013-14 school year. All KPS elementary schools will have access to the curriculum, but will share equipment. Additional area schools will be added as future dollars are raised. David Honnens, PGA, Executive Director, and Joe Canny, PGA, NJGT Director & Player Development Coordinator, both of the Nebraska PGA, have endorsed the SNAG® program. It is the goal of the Tasha Keiter Memorial Youth Golf Fund to sustain this program through an annual golf tournament and ongoing donations and local support. Call the Kearney Country Club at 308-234-3151 for more information. Donations can be made directly through the Kearney Area Community Foundation, designated to the “Tasha Keiter Memorial Youth Golf Fund”.
