“We’re lucky to have Alec represent our organization,” said Jennifer Alban, program director for SCGA Junior. “We’re proud of his golf accomplishments, but what we’re really looking for out of a scholar is a leader and role model, and Alec is both of those things.” Read More

That following summer, I realized I had a chance to make that my reality.” Read More
