LPGA Golfer Dottie Pepper visits Voorheesville Elementary School

(May 17, 2012) World renowned golfer Dottie Pepper conducted a golf clinic with students at Voorheesville Elementary School on Wednesday, May 16.

Pepper, a Saratoga Springs native, played on the LPGA circuit until injuries curtailed her career. She retired from golf in 2004 and went on to a successful career as a golf broadcaster, which she continues today on NBC and The Golf Channel.

Pepper’s visit was part of Voorheesville's participation in the First Tee Golf Program, which brings the sport of golf into the physical education curricula. This program was sponsored by NYSUT and a grant received from the Voorheesville School Community Foundation.
