The Urban Golf Foundation presented a $15,000 donation to the Florida A&M University men’s golf program on Saturday, Sept. 5, during Urban Golf Weekend at Miami Beach Golf Club in Miami Beach, Florida. The funds are designated for the purchase of launch monitors, which analyze swing mechanics and ball flight data. The technology is intended to support the development of Florida A&M University student-athletes.
Florida A&M University Men’s Golf head coach Mike Rice said the equipment will assist the program’s student-athlete development.
“We want to thank Clifton Addison and the Urban Golf Weekend on their kind donation to the FAMU men’s golf team,” expressed FAMU Men’s Golf Head Coach Mike Rice. “The donation will help us purchase launch monitors that will assist with the development of our student athletes. Having access to this technology will only benefit our program for years to come.”
Clifton Addison, the founder of Urban Golf Weekend, said the event is intended to create opportunities beyond the golf course. Urban Golf Weekend is held in Miami and brings together golf enthusiasts and supporters of collegiate golf programs.
“Urban Golf Weekend was created to do more than celebrate the game, it’s about opening doors,” stated Clifton Addison, UGW Founder. “Golf has always been a bridge, and through this initiative, we’re ensuring that young people of color have access to opportunities that go far beyond the course.”
