The South Florida PGA is pleased to announce the recipient of the 2016 Don E. Beattie Scholarship: Katie WIlliamson of Boca Raton. This scholarship of $2,500 is annually awarded to one Palm Beach County resident meeting all eligibility requirements.
The Don E. Beattie Scholarship was established in 2006 in memory of PGA Professional Don E. Beattie for his service to the South Florida PGA Section as a Past President and for his support of the game of golf. Don E. Beattie was a selfless, giving, unassuming individual dedicated to community outreach efforts and countless charities throughout Palm Beach County.
Katie excelled in high school with a GPA of 3.9 and will attend Florida Gulf Coast University in the fall. She was active outside of her studies as the Editor of the Boca Youth Quarterly, a student newspaper. Katie was also involved with The First Tee of Broward County as a volunteer, Homeless Outreach and Nursing Home Outreach.
PGA Professional, Christian Czaja describes Katie as having “a strong work ethic in addition to a passion for the game of golf.”
Katie will attend Florida Golf Coast University this fall and will pursue a degree in psychology. We wish her luck with her studies this fall!
