A member of the Marshall County girls’ golf team is among two recipients of a grant awarded to golfers in Kentucky. The Kentucky Golf Foundation and the family of Justin Thomas have announced that Drew Wallace and Megan Hertter as the recipients of the 2020 Justin Thomas Grant. Wallace and Hertter will both receive $3,000 in funds designed to allow them to play prestigious junior golf tournaments across the United States.

Hertter is the first in her family to play golf competitively. Not only is she solid on the golf course, but she boasts a 4.0 GPA and will graduate high school in 2022. Afterwards, she aspires to seek a degree in Psychology by attending a university in either Florida or Georgia while playing on their golf team. Through this grant, the opportunity to play in top junior golf tournaments will allow Hertter the opportunity to showcase her golf game to college coaches and help make that goal a reality.

Hertter was a member of the Marshall County girls’ regional championship team in the fall. She shot an 81 in the regional tournament, good enough to place her 6th in the region.
