13 years. 13 years I've spent my summers at Gongaware. 13 summers I've met some amazing people and watch kids grow in the game of golf.
Each camp, we hand out our Club Car Sportsmanship award, the highest, most honorable award we give out. The people who own this award are the best of the best. They love the game of golf and inspire others to love it too. When I was younger, as the Academy Directors' daughter, I was never able to win it as a camper because my dad didn't want others to think that I was the favorite. However, that all changed yesterday. At 23 years old, after attending over 20+ camps over the last 13 years, I was awarded the Club Car Sportsmanship award. My co-workers joked all week about it but I can now officially say my golf career has come to an end.
Thank you Gongaware for the memories and friendships what will last a lifetime. You have shaped me into the person I am today, and I am honored to be a part of a special family, forever and always. ~ Paige
