The USGA made a $10,000 donation to the Golf Course Builders Association of America "Sticks for Kids" Program
"In order to make the Sticks for Kids programs successful, it not only takes financial support, but the fantastic efforts of hundreds of volunteers across the country," said Bill Kubly, president of the GCBAA Foundation. "The Foundation continues to maintain the strong belief that programs such as Sticks for Kids are essential to the future growth of the great game of golf."
