Located within the Larson Center, the Worner Family Golf Center will be a cornerstone for the teams as they transition to the NSIC conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The golf center will provide the teams with four hitting bays, a team study room, lounge area, regripping station, locker rooms, coach\u2019s office, and a nearly 2,000-square-foot putting complex. The facility is designed to support the Jimmie golf team\u2019s pursuit of excellence both on and off the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice President of Student Affairs and interim golf coach, Dustin Jensen, shared his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the impact it will have on the program\u2019s competitive edge and academic success. \u201cThree months ago, we were thrilled to learn of a generous $250,000 donation from Tammy and Leo Worner, aimed at revamping our golf practice facilities.,\u201d Jensen remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>he Worner\u2019s two children, Jackson and Tori Worner, currently attend UJ and are student athletes in the golf program. Their donation stemmed from an appreciation for the University\u2019s role in Jackson\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe University of Jamestown took a chance on our son with a conditional enrollment. Today, he stands as a testament to UJ\u2019s commitment to nurturing students\u2019 growth, preparing them to excel in life. He graduates with Honors in May. Our contribution is a gesture of gratitude towards this culture,\u201d the Worner family stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson Worner, a senior majoring in Business Administration with a minor in Communication, expressed his gratitude towards the University: \u201cMy time here has been incredible. I owe so much to my professors, coaches, and the supportive community at UJ.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jensen referred to the family\u2019s gift as \u201crare and deeply appreciated.\u201d UJ President Dr Polly Peterson agreed, saying, \u201cThis gift for our golf program sets a new precedent. We are thankful for the Worner family\u2019s support and the legacy they are helping to build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction for the new indoor practice facility will begin in the summer of 2024 with projected completion in the fall.
