Friends of Golf Scholars 

Natalie Gonzalez | Whittier College – Thank you so much for selecting me to represent such an amazing program. Golf has helped me grow into the person that I am today, and I hope to act as a role model and friend to other young junior golfers seeking a future in this sport. All the ups and downs I have gone through with this sport over the past sixteen years of playing are all worth it when I think about the lifelong friends golf has led me to. Thank you again for all you do for this program and for helping out young junior golfers!

Nicolas Harrison | University of San Diego – One thing I struggled with the most as a junior golfer was being results-oriented.  But, after going through the ups and downs of the past year, I realize my true passion lies in the process – practicing, playing, and meeting so many great people along the way.  My passion for the game inspires me to be a friend of golf for the rest of my life.
