Weberling has interest in pursuing a career in golf and commented on the upcoming summer, “I am looking forward to this internship with MAGA because I want to be a part of creating memorable experiences for amateur golfers. I am hoping to learn about the aspects that make golf tournaments perform well, and how to run them from an operations aspect.”
Jack Underwood – Communications Intern
Jack also attends the University of Missouri and the famed Journalism School. He expects to graduate in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Journalism in Newspaper Writing.
