BRASELTON, Ga. – Elizabeth Reedy of Marietta, Georgia, and Alex Ross of Atlanta, Georgia, have been named Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-Americans by the American Junior Golf Association. Since 1988, the team has recognized 12 young men and 12 young women who demonstrate the ability to excel both on the golf course and in the classroom.
“These 24 young men and women deserve all our applause for the hard work and dedication they have shown in pursuing their academic and athletic passions,” said Brian Forbes, director of sponsorships for Transamerica. “In addition to being a game of skill and tradition, golf is a great way to stay healthy, active and connected with friends and loved ones. This is why Transamerica continues to support golf at many levels and is proud to partner with the AJGA to honor Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-Americans.”
