Jacqueline Sneddon wins

All-American Scholar

award for second year

Alyth Golf Club member Jacqueline Sneddon, a student at Grand Canyon University, Arizona, has been given the NGCA (National Golf Coaches Association) All-American Scholar academic award for a second year running .
The award is to give golf scholarship students an incentive to maintain high class marks when they are not pursuing their college golf careers.
Golf scholarship students at US colleges have to maintain a 3.5 grade average but Jacqueline at the moment has a 4.00 grade.

"I think that it is a great achievement, keeping up the studies and playing all the golf that they do, " said her mum Jennifer.
The Sneddon family home is at Meigle.
