FOOTPRINTS ON THE GREEN HISTORY OF MCCONNELL GOLF’S FOOTPRINTS ON THE GREEN As the host for many charities and donors to numerous others, McConnell Golf proudly gives back through our community engagement program Footprints on the Green. Through a strong and supportive effort made by our collective membership and staff, we strive to become a driving force in the local communities where our clubs reside. Aware of the challenges our society and environment face daily, we align ourselves with a variety of organizations and avenues for giving back. This program is designed with all age groups in mind so that it will be a learning tool for our youth, teambuilding activity for our staff, and a friendship building platform to strengthen our connection with our membership. McConnell Golf continually seeks new ways that we can give back within our local communities. Included on this page are just a few examples of the Footprints initiatives during 2020 at sister clubs. Stay tuned for events and opportunities for The Water’s Edge membership and staff to become involved in this meaningful and rewarding program.
