Senior Amanda Malool and junior Connor Smith,  both Fanscotian editors, worked as junior course reporters at this year’s Barclays golf tournament in Jersey City on Aug. 21. They were chosen after submitting an application to First Tee of Metropolitan New York, a youth development program focused on golf.  They wrote a blog for First Tee about their experience after attending the tournament and the player press conferences. They were also able to talk to professional golfers, including 2011 Fed Ex Cup champion Bill Haas and Barclays 2013 winner,  Adam Scott.
