“The first thing that comes to my mind about earning the scholarship and winning the SNJGA Player of the Year is gratitude,” Arone said. “I’ve based the majority of my Junior golf career with belief in the SNJGA and appreciate their believing in me. The SNJGA gave me a way to compete and get my name out and about, cheaper and without having to chase the AJGA and out of state tournaments. It’s an honor to win it back to back and the field gets tougher every year with lots of upcoming talent, so I am excited to see that my hard work payed off.”
