The Alfred T. Stanger Memorial Scholarship is an annual award originating in 2018 to honor the remarkable life and contributions of Al Stanger in the game of golf. A self-made man, Al decided to build his own personal 18-hole golf course in 2005 at his cattle ranch in South Texas. The golf course at Wolf Point Ranch has received wide acclaim and was Al’s pride and joy. Shortly after construction was completed, Al helped form Greenscape Methods with Don Mahaffey, who at the time was the Construction and Maintenance Superintendent at Wolf Point. Al passed away in 2016, but the company he helped found remains and has established the Greenscape Methods Charitable Foundation to fund this scholarship in his memory. Al’s encouragement and support was pivotal in Greenscape Methods’ rise to success, and his contributions will never be forgotten.

The scholarships will be awarded to students pursuing a career in golf, whether it be designing, building, maintaining, or as a journalist with a special interest in golf. It is our desire to help fund the education of students who love the game and will work to promote and protect the game of golf.

An applicant for the Alfred T. Stanger Memorial Scholarship must present evidence of being enrolled as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited two or four-year college/university. Students must be enrolled in a program of study that will prepare the student for a career in one of the aforementioned professions.

Scholarship applications open in March, and applications are due by May 1st on the given year of their issuing. For more information, please reach out to Don Mahaffey via email or the contact link found here on the website.
