What’s your most memorable experience with SCGA Junior?

“I don’t have just one. From starting in the Golf Pass program, to becoming a scholar and now coaching, I couldn’t be more thankful to be a part of SCGA Junior.”

What’s your dream foursome?

“Tiger Woods, George Lopez and Coach Justin. Tiger Woods because he opened the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, where I attended. George Lopez because he is always giving back to the community and took the time to speak with my mom, helping her raise money for breast cancer. And Coach Justin because he’s one of my mentors, always helping me with my swing and believing in me.”
