Prior to COVID, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissioner Gary Nicklaus and Chapter Board Member Bill O’Leary helped us form a partnership with FWC to offer a golf and fishing program to our students. Students hit on the range and practiced their chipping and putting and then grabbed the fishing poles to fish the lakes of the par-3 course at The Bear’s Club. On the last day of class, the students played the par-3 course and then hooked some big ones.

With the assistance of FWC biologists Keaton Fish and Beau Yeiser, we conducted a summer program to teach eight students how to freshwater fish. The students were able to experience two fun Florida outdoor activities. Thank you to The Bear’s Club and our Coaches (Connie, Zack, Dane, Dariel) for conducting this program in partnership with FWC.
