PGA Golfer Steers Funding to PE Activity Program
July 10, 2009
Professional golfer Steve Stricker is giving a boost to student golf instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by designating the university to receive $45,000 through the 2008 Ryder Cup Outreach Program. Stricker, an Edgerton native, was a member of last year's victorious U.S. Ryder Cup Team.
The funds, distributed through the Play Golf America University Program, will enable the Physical Education Activity Program in the Department of Kinesiology and the Division of Recreational Sports to expand golf programs at UW-Madison.
This includes adding eight more sections of the golf activity course over the next two years, led by two instructors certified by the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) of America.
