Golf - and college golf in particular - lost a great friend with the passing of former Golfweek Senior Writer Ron Balicki. Balicki, who was days shy of his 66th birthday when he lost his eight-month battle with cancer, wrote about the college and amateur game for more than 30 years, delivering stories not only about the players who would become the PGA Tour's stars of tomorrow, but stories about amateurs of all talent levels who simply loved to compete.
In hopes of expanding upon Ron's three decades of journalism excellence, a Ron Balicki Scholarship Award has been created in his memory.
The purpose of this award, to be given annually, is to honor and encourage a student who, in pursuing his or her interest in journalism and writing, exemplifies dedication by writing about college and/or amateur golf.
The Ron Balicki Scholarship Award will be administered by the Golf Coaches Association of America, a 501©(3) non-profit organization, therefore all contributions to the Award Fund will be 100% tax deductible.
Checks for the Ron Balicki Scholarship Fund should be made payable to "Ron Balicki Scholarship Fund" and mailed to:
