Recent Town of Webb School graduates Melissa Murphy, Dan Stefanko, Tom Cooper and Nicole Redpath, members of the school’s varsity golf team, received scholarships from Thendara Golf Club Pro Rich Chapman on Saturday, July 25 at the golf course.
The scholarships were made possible through Kids T Off, a charitable program that also provides free children’s golf camps and golf clinics for adults during the summer months at the Thendara Golf Club.
Kids T Off evolved from annual golf tournaments and memory celebrations held in 2011, 2012 and 2013, to honor the legacy of the late Muriel Cohen, an avid golfer and Thendara Golf Club member who passed away September 10, 2010.
In lieu of sponsoring a golf tournament the last couple years, organizers solicited donations from individuals in support of the new program to assure the continuance of Cohen’s mission of fostering future golfers in the area.
Program sponsorships are available for a minimum donation of $100. Supporters can make checks payable to Kids T Off and send to: Thendara Golf Club, P.O. Box 153, Thendara, NY 13472.
Current Children’s Golf Camps wrap up on August 7, however Adult Golf Clinics continue on Saturdays through August 22.
Women’s clinics run from 2 to 3 p.m. and Men’s from 3 to 4 p.m. More information is available by calling Rich Chapman at (315) 369-3136 or: Pro@ThendaraGolfClub.com.
