“Swing Towards The Target!”

SPRING, TX (May 14, 2024) - Southern Texas PGA Member, Scott Archer, is headed to New York City in November for one of the world’s biggest marathons. Archer, Assistant Executive Director for the Southern Texas PGA, will be representing the Section at the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon on November 3. He is one of 15 PGA of America Members from across the country running in the marathon, representing the PGA of America’s 501(c)(3) charitable foundation, PGA of America REACH Foundation. The Foundation is an Official Partner of the TCS New York Marathon for the seventh consecutive year, and the PGA of America Members running in November aim to raise over $150,000 for PGA of America REACH Foundation programming. “I’m beyond excited for this opportunity to put my mental fortitude and physical fitness to the test, but more importantly, I’m honored to have the opportunity to represent the PGA of America and Southern Texas PGA on the national stage,” said Archer who has worked for the STPGA since 2018. “PGA of America REACH Foundation and the Programs they conduct are near and dear to my heart, having delivered these on a local level to our consumers of Southern Texas. I also grew up in the Southern Texas PGA Junior Golf Program playing in Beaumont under the watchful eye of Ed Campbell. It is truly a blessing to be able to contribute to fundraising for this organization and to give back in a meaningful way.” To support Archer as he strives to raise money for PGA of America REACH Foundation, Click Here to find his fundraising page!
