Kathy Nagy
In reference to school officials, “I would like to thank you for the opportunity I have had over the past two years to coach for an incredible golf program at Farragut High School,” Nagy said. “… I leave this position with tremendous appreciation for both the opportunity and for the experience, but more than anything I value the many friendships made along the way. “Unfortunately, 2018 was a difficult year personally for my family,” Nagy added. “… I have spent a considerable amount of time thinking about what would be best for my family, the school, the future of the golf program and for my players.
“I am proud of both the boys and girls golf programs and their many accomplishments throughout the 2017 and 2018 seasons.”
