The Tom Sager Golf Academy wrapped up another successful season with eight young people from the Lawrence and Methuen YMCAs learning the basics of golf and so much more. This program, which is a joint venture of the Merrimack Valley YMCA, Renaissance Golf Club, and the Sager Family Trust, was started more than a decade ago in memory of Tom Sager, an avid golfer who passed away in 2009. Sager believed golf was a great way to learn about sportsmanship, determination and friendship. The academy offers participants an opportunity to learn these skills while introducing them to a new sport in an environment that is also new to them.
