This weekend, Bella Bugg ‘23 will hit the links in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The Snedeker Foundation, and the American Junior Golf Association’s ACE Grant program. Joining 23 junior golfers from around the state, Bugg will play in the AJGA’s third annual Tennessee Cup, a two-day Ryder Cup-style event.
“I have not played in this event before, but the chance to represent Tennessee and raise money for some of my favorite nonprofit organizations made it a tournament that I knew I had to put myself in to represent them well,” said Bella. “So far, as a team, we’ve raised nearly $50,000.” You can learn more about the cup and Bella’s fundraising efforts here.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. Notable AJGA alumni include Tiger Woods, Inbee Park, Phil Mickelson, Paula Creamer, Jordan Spieth, Megan Pressel, Rickie Fowler, and Lexi Thompson.
