The Somerset County Park
Commission has announced the recipients of the 2015 Dr. Michael S. Kline Youth
Golf Scholarships for the Summer Junior Golf School at the Learning Center at
Neshanic Valley, 2301 South Branch Road in Neshanic Station, New Jersey.
The Dr. Michael S. Kline
Youth Golf Scholarships are funded by the Kline Family Foundation and are
awarded to boys and girls ages 10 to 16. The 2015 recipients are Andrew
Garcia of Bridgewater, Katie Walker of Branchburg and Aiden Torres of Bridgewater.
The scholarships entitle
the recipients to participate in the weeklong Golf School and were awarded
based on ability, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game of golf.
“We are grateful once
again to the Kline Family Foundation for their support of golf in Somerset
County,” stated Bob Ransone, Deputy Director, Golf Division. “The Kline
Scholarships and the Park Foundation scholarships will help to get kids
involved in a sport that they can play for their entire lives.”
The Park Foundation continues
to seek donations for the 2016 season to allow additional children to participate
in the program. Each $150 donation will fund one child. Donations may be sent
to the Somerset County Park Foundation, Post Office Box 5147, North Branch,
NJ 08876. A
note indicating that the donation should be dedicated to golf scholarships
should be included with the check.
Golf School takes place at the
state-of-the-art Learning Center at Neshanic Valley that includes a
double-ended driving range with grass and mat hitting areas, a 12,000 square
foot putting green, a practice facility including bunkers and three chipping
greens, and two practice holes.
