GOLF LWHS GIRLS GOLF + LALGA By Jackie Dressler The LALGA has created a committee to support the Lake Wales High School Girls Golf team. What started as a simple donation has morphed into an ongoing commitment to support and mentor the girls team. The committee will be supporting the Girls Team in three areas. First, encouragement and mentorship through attending some practices and matches, along with arranging skills clinics at Lake Ashton. Second, through an event of nine holes playing with LALGA members and a light meal afterwards in the Eagles Nest. We feel showing the young women how they will be able to use the game of golf for fellowship (not to mention business) into their nineties! Third, ongoing fundraising support. Lake Wales High School is a Title I school, so very little funding and discretionary funds. The Girls Team currently works on a budget of $500 per year. The team has achieved high as 5th overall in the State. Usually there are between 8-12 young ladies on the team. The first needs identified by Coach Stacey Butcher were for uniforms and push carts. On March 6. 2025 Jackie Tressler, Dori Krogman, and Lynne Abbott on behalf of the LALGA presented the first donations of push carts, four sets of ladies clubs, numerous pieces of golf apparel, monetary support, and a member’s donation to cover the cost of uniforms and perhaps some swing training needs. This was without the committee even beginning to develop a process for donations and fundraising! Once steps are in place for future support and fundraising, we will be encouraging donations.
