UJ to Boost Golf Program with New Indoor Facility Thanks to Local Family's Generosity

The University of Jamestown has announced plans for a new indoor golf practice facility, funded by a donation from the Worner family. Named the Worner Family Golf Center, the facility will be located in the Larson Center and aims to improve the training environment for the university's golf teams. Construction is scheduled to start in the summer of 2024 and is expected to be completed by the fall of the same year.

The facility will feature four hitting bays, a 2,000-square-foot putting complex, a team study room, a lounge area, a regripping station, and dedicated locker rooms and a coach’s office. These features demonstrate the university’s commitment to enhancing facilities for its students.

Tammy and Leo Worner donated $250,000 to the project, motivated by the positive experience their son, Jackson, had at the university. Jackson, who is graduating with honors, has benefited from the university's supportive environment, which has aided his academic and personal growth.

Jackson Worner, a senior majoring in Business Administration with a minor in Communication, expressed his gratitude for the opportunities at the University of Jamestown. His success, he notes, is largely due to the support from faculty and the community.
