🏆 Congratulations to Stewart Cink — 2026 Boeing Classic Champion! 🏆

What a finish! Stewart battled his way back with an incredible final-round 65, then delivered when it mattered most, making birdie on the first playoff hole to capture the Boeing Classic.

Five wins this season and another trophy added to the collection. Stewart continues to show the talent, determination, and competitive spirit that have made him one of the greats of the game.

We enjoy watching his success each week!

What is SNAG?

SNAG is designed to make the fundamentals of golf easier to teach and learn. Using specially designed clubs, balls and targets, students can work on the basic skills of the game in a school setting — whether that’s a gym, field or other available space.

Through SNAG, students can learn:

⛳ Proper grip and setup
🎯 Aiming and alignment
🏌️ Putting, chipping and full-swing fundamentals
📚 Basic golf terminology and rules
🤝 Sportsmanship and golf etiquette

The Burns Foundation is able to provide SNAG kits for schools, putting the equipment and teaching tools right where students already are.

For many students, SNAG can be their first opportunity to experience golf and learn the fundamentals before ever stepping onto a golf course.

Starting New At Golf — SNAG.

It’s one of the ways we’re helping make golf education more accessible to students in our community. ⛳

Have questions about SNAG, the Burns Foundation, or how to get involved? Reach out to us — we’d love to hear from you and share more about what we’re doing!

Little future pro’s won’t let the rain stop them! 2 hours of practice and none of them were ready to leave. Golf is fun if you let it be.
