2008 Highlights!
Leo Lewis Tournament Brings Celebrity Sightings
On Thursday, July 10th, nine top MMJGA caddies headed to Jordan, MN to caddie for the annual Leo Lewis Fundraising Tournament. MMJGA participants caddied for former Timberwolves, Vikings and other celebrities. The star celebrity was Minnesota native and Arizona Cardinals standout receiver Larry Fitzgerald (as seen above). The MMJGA was thrilled to be a part of this wonderful annual event!
Bad News Bears Take The Title!
At the beginning of 2008 we had a rag-tag group of golfer spraying the ball all over the course. But a few clinics with our head pro Dee Forsberg-Voss and suddenly we have championship level golfers.
They proved themselves worthy of such acclaim after winning a “skills challenge” against other Minneapolis First Tee chapters. Ten MMJGA participants showed off their talents in putting, chipping and pitch shots. Teams were awarded points for accuracy in all categories and MMJGA brought home the title!
After a complimentary lunch, professional tour golfer Fuzzy Zoeller hosted a clinic and personally handed the trophies to our champion golfers. Congratulations to our ten participants: Alex, Anthony F, Anthony D, David, Chris, Colton, Josh, Keith, Carlos and Tre.
MMJGA participates in a Tour Event
The 3M Championship was in town July 15-20th and six MMJGA caddies had the opportunity to shadow caddie for this PGA Tour Champions event. This event allowed participants in our program to see what caddying is like at the top level, giving them valuable experience to take with them for years to come.
Tre, Anthony D, Alex, David, Dyami & Shadeed were selected to represent the organization and did a fantastic job, assisting with raking bunkers, giving distances and reading greens. They certainly had their hands full with all of the media coverage, as KSTP 5, Fox 9, WCCO 4 & the Golf Channel all did stories on the program.
This was a fabulous event that could help take our program to the next level. Congratulations to everyone involved!
