Dinunzio earns inaugural Betsy Ulmer Scholarship
On August 16th, 2023, a number of friends and family of Rosalie DiNunzio gathered at Glen Oak Golf Couse in Amherst. The purpose was to present the first annual Betsy Ulmer Girls Golf Scholarship, an endeavor a long time coming. Making the presentation were James Mohan of the Buffalo District Golf Association board of directors, John Osberg, director of development and foundation operations for the Western New York section of thePGA of America, and Mrs. Ulmer herself. Mr. Mohan spoke eloquently about Betsy’s long participation in golf matters in western New York, and her tireless devotion to the expansion of access for girls to the game.
