The tragedy&nbsp;rocked the golfing community to its core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A release from the WGCA stated, \u201cOne of Tyler\u2019s goals was to attend the WGCA Member Convention; however, his program like so many others, at the Division II, III, NAIA, and NJCAA levels simply did not have the budget. The WGCA will help address this in a small way by offering seven scholarships to women\u2019s collegiate golf coaches to attend this year\u2019s convention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am incredibly honored and extremely grateful to be one of seven recipients of the Tyler James WGCA Convention Scholarship to attend this years WGCA Convention,\u201d Hale said.&nbsp; \u201cIt is something I have wanted to do the past two years, but have not been able to due to funding and now it has become reality.&nbsp; I hope to make Coach James proud and consume as much information as I can to not only develop as a coach, but to also help our women\u2019s golf team and take our program to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s WGCA Convention will be December 4-7 at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas, NV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (UJ) University of Jamestown head golf coach\u00a0Zach Hale\u00a0has been awarded the Tyler James WGCA Convention Scholarship.
