Travis Sharrett - Growing the Game Scholarship
Donation protected
We are the Below Average Golfers & we are raising money for a scholarship fund in memory of Travis Sharrett.
The challenge
On September 18, 2023, the Below Average Golfers are tasked to each (2 players) birdie all 18 holes at Arrowhead Golf Club (Greenfield, IN) from the time the course opens until the course closes. Once a player has birdied a hole, they no longer will play that hole & will solely be focused on birdieing the other holes on the course. The players participating are Caleb Wallen (10 Handicap) and Owen Smith (18 Handicap).
Ways to donate
You can donate at any point prior to September 18.
You can pledge an amount for
- $x for every birdie made (36 max. birdies)

About this scholarship
- The inspiration for the name comes from a cousin of Caleb Wallen, who is one of the BAGs founding members. Travis Sharrett was a senior at Blue River Valley High School when his life was tragically cut short due to a car accident when Caleb was in 6th grade. Travis was a member of the Golf team and loved to be out on the course any time he could be. At that point, Caleb hadn’t been fully bitten by the “Golf bug”. However, after Travis passed, Caleb’s Aunt and Uncle decided to give Travis’ clubs to Caleb and from there, the rest is history. Caleb wouldn't have played Golf for Eastern Hancock nor decided to take his game to the next level if it wasn’t for Travis sharing his love of the game with him. Just as Travis grew the game for Caleb, we would like to grow the game for you and help you develop the same love for the game that we at BAGs have. See below on how to apply for this scholarship.
