Outreach Director Lynndy Smith from the office of Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) presented Tom Loegering, founder of Golf Program in Schools, with Arizona’s District 8 Congressional Recognition. Tom’s program partners with high schools around the district to help introduce students to the game of golf. Through this program, Tom hopes to get more young people involved in golf so that they may open themselves up to different scholarship and career opportunities, all at no cost to the schools or students.

“Golf Program in Schools is a unique opportunity to expose students of all backgrounds in AZ-08 to a fun sport that can be played for a lifetime,” said Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08). “The program encourages students to learn a new sport, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and even consider golf as a path to college. Thank you, Tom, for sharing your passion with the community and for inspiring a new generation of golfers!”
