Scott Rogers is by appearance a very well-liked, retired CDCR Corrections Officer who loves to play golf. “I do my best thinking when I’m playing the game I love so much.” Indeed, he’s all that and a lot more.
One wouldn’t know it by merely chatting with Scott but he’s on a mission, a raison d’etre (reason to be) to help bring a culture change to Del Norte youth. Scott hopes to send some Del Norte youth, aspiring young golfers to a prestigious academy for elite golf training with the firm intent of providing scholarship opportunities that will change lives. “Del Norte is not a wealthy community but our kids richly deserve the opportunity to excel. We can change lives. I believe this.”
Visionary Rogers will begin his raison d’etre with helping the Del Norte Girls Golf team reach significant improvement in improving these skills.
In the coming days, Scott will address the City Council, the Board of Supervisors, the Harbor District and Trustees of the Del Norte Unified School District.
The assistance will come with expert golf instructors, private industry partnerships, equipment and, of course, money. How much and when has yet to be determined.
You will be hearing more on this worthy endeavor and Scott Rogers raison d’etre.
