As we've discussed in the past, our Golf Program in Schools in Montgomery, AL (read here) was a resounding success this past Spring. So how do we continue that success? We are thankful that Dr Fenderson of the Montgomery City Schools has agreed to invite us back to the 5th thru 9th grade schools. This allows us to solidify our contact with the schools we went into this past Spring and, hopefully expand into the other schools as they become more aware of our impact on their students. In this regard, we are working with Pike Road Middle and Senior High to get back into their Gym, hopefully, the first or second week of October. We have been coordinating with Mr Ted White to schedule a few days in the gym with another Field Day @ Gateway Park Golf Course as well. We are truly thankful to have a close relationship with St James United Methodist Church as well. Ross Jenkins has been our primary contact and he has been extremely helpful engaging with Pike Road and their students. We hope to continue that relationship and create a larger impact on the Spiritual lives of our kids and their families. This is a good place to let you see what we're really about.

This summer Quincy conducted several weekday camps at which a few of our students attended. He has agreed to participate in our Field Day outreaches and will continue to guide our students to his regularly scheduled clinics and camps. Here's the Leo Golf Academy Fall Clinic Schedule.What's next?
Well, we believe Carr Middle would be the next stop for our GPS Program. Mr Baldwin of Carr Middle was incredible last year; allowing us into the gym classes for all of their students. We hope to enter Carr Middle following our engagement with Pike Road. Additionally, Grace Point Baptist Church which is just across the highway from Carr Middle. has been very receptive to our program. In fact, Naomi Kemp, our local coordinator for Child Evangelism Fellowship in Middle Alabama, introduced us to Pastor Scotty and Youth Leader Mike. Mr Larry Campbell from Grace Point and his son Troy have latched onto our program and are providing incredible golf instruction experience to all of our kids when we conduct our Field Days. Next? Not quite sure, but, we did programs @ Brewbaker Middle and Floyd Middle Magnet Schools. I'm pretty sure both of these schools will allow us to re-enter, but, we haven't, as of yet, finalized a schedule with them. Worth mentioning as well is the incredible support and assistance we have received from the management of Montgomery City golf courses as well as the Driving Force Ladies Golf group from Lagoon Park Golf Club. Ms Cindy Ashley has given her support to our program and Ms Hattie Robinson, & Ms Ann and Mr Norm Hall have given much of their time in the schools and on the practice tee. We pray they will continue to work with us for the students of Montgomery Schools . So, you see we are enjoying great success in Montgomery, Alabama. We continue to work through our Universal Prayer process for our Murfreesboro, TN GPS Academy at Champions Run GC and our Santa Rosa, FL Academy on the Pan Handle of Florida. We would love to have you participate at any of these locations or in your location. Learn more about what we do and how we do it, here..... Le
