SWU Benefit Will Help to Fund Golf Facility

Southern Wesleyan University recently constructed a driving range on campus.

 

LPGA player Heather Bowie Young shared golf tips at Southern Wesleyan University’s new driving range Sept. 29, part of SWUper Saturday, an event to benefit the facility’s construction.

Supporters and members of the men’s and women’s golf teams were on hand for the SWUper Saturday, which included lunch and an afternoon of golf with Young on the course at The Reserve at Lake Keowee.
