Chapter alumna Nyla Sims is interning this semester at the prestigious Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. Nyla is a senior at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore enrolled in the PGA Golf Management program.
“What an incredible opportunity for Nyla to begin her career,” said Chapter Executive Director Carl Mistretta. “Baltusrol has played host to 17 major championships including seven U.S. Opens, two U.S. Women’s Opens and two PGA Championships. The club has a deep history in the game, and she will learn so much from their golf staff and the membership.”
Nyla plays on her college golf team and is a member of the Club Management Association of America, the Professional Golf Management Student Association and *Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She has also received our Chapter college scholarship.
“My ultimate goal is to become a PGA Professional and General Manager of a golf club,” said Nyla. “I want to continue to help grow the game of golf and create more diversity in the spirit of everything I have learned through First Tee.”
