"Lindsay and Lydia have always shown strong leadership ability and an even stronger desire to succeed on and off the golf course," said Teichert. "They have always put extra work in on the course and especially in the classroom. Those combinations only add to their leadership skills. They were the perfect choice to lead this program."
