Have you heard about Starting New At Golf (SNAG Golf)? It’s where we introduce students to golf in a fun way by learning how to putt, chip and hit golf balls that attach to Velcro targets. This summer, the SNAG Golf Community Center Program visited 18 of Columbus Recreation and Parks Department's community centers, as well as KIPP and East High School, to introduce a total of 807 youth to golf! We want to give a shout-out to Al Sallee, who headed up the program, with help from some part-time staff and AJRP interns. We are excited to introduce the next generation to golf!
