Colorado high school golfer heading to the University of Denver raised awareness and funds to benefit Lifeline Puppy Rescue. On Aug. 12, Logan Hale (Erie, Colo.), two-time individual and team high school state championship from Erie High School hosted the inaugural "Putting for Puppies" Youth Golf Clinic at the Colorado National Golf Club in Erie. The fundraising and dog adoption event included local golf golfers teaching more than 25 children, ages 6-12, how to play golf. The following day, Hale presented the check from the money raised at the clinic to Lifeline Puppy Rescue in Brighton.

The one-hour clinic hosted by Logan Hale and other local golfers raised $500 to support the health and well-being of rescue dogs. More than 25 children attended the event. All proceeds from the event, including merchandise, benefited Lifeline Puppy Rescue in Colorado.

Hale, 18, is the defending individual and team Colorado Class 4A girls golf state champion and recently competed in the Colorado Women's Open and Junior PGA Championship. She presented the $500 check on Aug. 13 at Lifeline Puppy Rescue. Hale has also started on plans to host the clinic event next summer, a date will be announced in the future.
