De Anza College Associated Student Body Senate approved $1,160 at its meeting, Jan. 30. A new putting green for De Anza students is closer to reality. Unused physical education department funds from last quarter will be reallocated, totaling $4,000.
The original putting course was destroyed during the construction of the new football field, said Pablo Zamorano, student body president.
The class is held currently on the soccer field, but the grass is too tall to facilitate proper instruction, said Debi Schafer-Braun, physical education instructor.
“I have to be creative and find different ways to teach those aspects of the game of golf which is putting, chipping and pitching,” she said.  
The proposed location of the new putting course is the old archery range. De Anza no longer offers archery classes, and the field is already fenced in making it the perfect new location, said Schafer-Braun.
“The total amount we will be fundraising for is $13,000,” she said.
“We already raised $6,000” said Schafer-Braun, trying to convince the senates on Jan. 23. “A lot of my students have already donated money for the cause.”
