Aimee Neff, Florida Atlantic University's head women's golf coach, embarked on a journey a little more than one year ago. As the Indiana native assumed the helm of FAU's women's golf program, she sought ways to make the program better. She began this mission by working with her team, striving to make each player better on and off the course, and continuing the team being historically strong in the classroom. The team first began working on themselves through self defense classes and other self improvement techniques. Neff then inspired the golf team members to attack a goal - the goal was to raise enough funds to build a well in Africa. The Owls' accomplished that goal (full story).
Neff learned in the fall of 2019 that she was invited to travel to Africa and see the impact and location of the well. Below is her daily journal as submitted to Golf Fore Africa (click on the day for full story):

Day 1
Betsy, Azahara, Consuelo, Amy, Kathryn and I have officially kicked things off in Zambia! We landed this afternoon in the capital, Lusaka, after a short two-hour flight up from Johannesburg, South Africa. World Vision staffers...
December 10, Seeing!
Day 2
We started our day off at Shabila village. They greeted us with dancing and singing, leading one to believe there was a celebration happening! They were celebrating having visitors, which we found out would be a reoccurring theme...
December 11, Celebration
Day 3
Wow, I struggle to type words to describe what we saw and got to be a part of today. It truly was spectacular!!! Words of hyperbole get overused, and I know I am guilty of using them far too often, but I cannot articulate well...
December 12, Continuing
Day 4
We packed quite a bit in today with it being our final day out in the field. Two more well dedications -Azahara Munoz and Friends, and Amy McGowan and Friends, visited one of the children Betsy sponsors, checked out a community...
