FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University women's golf team continued its pursuit at the Conference USA Championship on Tuesday. The Owls shot a 299 for the second round and head into the final day in 10th place.
QUICK HITS
GOLF FORE AFRICA
All this season the Owls will be teaming up with Golf Fore Africa to raise money for clean water in rural Africa. The team's goal is to raise enough money to build a well for a village in Zambia, providing clean water for an entire community.
One well costs $15,000 to build and brings clean water to 300 people for life. Just a $50 donation brings clean water to one person for a lifetime. To date, Golf Fore Africa has built 160 wells and FAU is looking to be the first collegiate program to raise complete funding for a well.
Online contributions can be made here or by contacting Head Coach Aimee Neff (neffa@fau.edu).
