Former LPGA Tour member to help promote junior golf
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, May 11, 2011 – The LPGA Foundation announced today that Kiernan Schindler, a Class A LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP) member and a former LPGA Tour member, has been named the Director of LPGA-USGA Girls Golf.
Schindler, a Wake Forest University graduate who was also a standout on the women’s golf team, played golf professionally for four years. She spent two years on the LPGA Tour, after capturing co-medalist honors at the LPGA Tour Qualifier in 1991, and was also a member of the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the Ladies Asian Golf Tour.
“Kiernan is an ideal person to lead our renewed effort to advance the goals of the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf ,” said Carol Corcoran, President of the LPGA Foundation. “She personally knows the value of introducing girls to golf early in life so that they can learn a wonderful life-long sport and become confident and capable young women. We are truly delighted that she is joining our team.”
In March 1994, Schindler left professional golf to join PowerBar Inc. as its sports marketing manager, where she helped manage the sponsorship of Tom Lehman and Michelle McGann. Schindler then worked as the advertising sales director for Time Inc., Hearst Magazines and American Express publishing for nine years before returning to work in golf in November 2005.
Schindler has spent the past five-and-a-half years as an LPGA certified teaching professional, first at the Moraga Country Club in Moraga, Calif. and then at the Green Spring Valley Hunt Club in Owings Mills, Md. and the Lake Presidential Golf Club in Upper Marlboro, Md.
The only national initiative of its kind, LPGA-USGA Girls Golf is organized as a partnership between the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), the world's longest-running women's professional sports association, and the United States Golf Association (USGA), the national governing body of golf. The LPGA and the USGA are non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf provides an opportunity for girls, ages 7 to 17, to learn to play golf, build lasting friendships and experience competition in a fun, supportive environment, preparing them for a lifetime of enjoyment with the game. Girls are learning values inherent to the game of golf, such as patience, respect, perseverance and honesty, preparing them to meet challenges of today's world with confidence.
