Scholar/athletes sought for CL 9ers Golf Club scholarships

The Canyon Lake 9ers Golf Club invites high school Canyon Lake seniors to apply for a Student/Athlete Scholarship to be awarded in May. Applicants must be residents of Canyon Lake, have maintained a 3.5 GPA, and have been actively involved in school activities, a sports team and community service. Last year, the 9ers Club, with the help of the Canyon Lake golf community and many Canyon Lake businesses, awarded eight scholarships totaling $12,500 to Canyon Lake graduating seniors.

To apply for this year’s 2022-23 scholarship, graduating seniors need to obtain an application packet from the Canyon Lake Pro Shop, or from Linda Kielty of the Canyon Lake 9ers Club at her home at 22698 Calcutta Drive.

“You will be asked to fill out the application including a ‘Brag Sheet’,” Linda said. “You will need to write an essay and include recommendations from a teacher and a coach.”

Top candidates for the scholarships will be invited to interview with the 9ers Club Scholarship Committee.

Completed application packets should be returned to the Canyon Lake Golf Pro Shop or be sent to Linda no later than April 30. Questions can be addressed to Linda at 951-202-5046 or lmkrak@gmail.com.

Since 2017, the club, with the support of the golf community and Canyon Lake businesses, has raised more than $50,000 for these scholarships. Each year, the 9ers Golf Club issues as many scholarships as it has scholarship funds. Most years, multiple graduating students are the recipients of the coveted scholarships. The 9ers Women‘s Golf Club is an organization of Canyon Lake women who golf weekly, but play rounds of nine holes. They also are involved in fundraising for philanthropic purposes.
