Operation 36 Top 50 Coach Nominee
We are proud to share that Matt Lekwart has been nominated as an Operation 36 Top 50 Coach.
Operation 36 is a nationally recognized player development program, and this recognition highlights coaches who are helping new golfers learn the game and grow in their communities.
Matt credits this nomination to everyone who has been part of our programs. A sincere thank you to our junior golfers and their families, our adult students, and the Fairgrounds staff who support our classes every week. Your commitment and enthusiasm are what make these programs work.
Our goal has always been simple: to make Fairgrounds the place where Sonoma County learns to play golf. Thank you for helping us get there.
Matt returns to the lesson tee on Monday, November 16, with Junior Academy, Adult Academy, clinics, and private lessons. Details and registration information are coming soon.
Please join us in congratulating Matt.
