The grant will be used to help the Lynx Women’s golf team
practice year round. An indoor putting green will be purchased
to help the Lynx advance their golf game.
Coach Carol Wilson said, “We are very thankful the IWGA selected
our program as one of the recipients of their mini golf grants.”
Wilson added, “The ladies are looking forward to the opportunity
to be able to work on their game in the winter months!”
The Lynx were among nine other schools in the state of Illinois
to receive this grant. Other recipients include: Lewis
University, Western Illinois University, Monmouth College,
McKendree College, Governors State, University of
Illinois-Springfield, Carl Sandburg College, Illinois College,
and Augustana.
The IWGA has a long history of supporting Women’s Golf Programs
in the state of Illinois. The Victory Fund was started during
World War II when the Illinois Women’s Golf Association began
the Victory Tournament to show support for our men and women in
uniform. Today, the lion’s share of the Victory Fund is used to
encourage and support young golfers in the state of Illinois.
The Lynx Women’s Golf team returns to action in April.
