Will Rogers High School Community Foundation vice chair and director Jacci Harris personally took on a request from the Athletics Department for golf supplies to get the program back up and running for Roper men and women. Jacci called on alumni, and they chipped in with equipment and funds.

Will Rogers High School has a strong golf history, most notably producing standout golfer Tom Jones, who won the 1973 state title for Will Rogers before leading Oklahoma State to an NCAA title and playing on the PGA Tour. He was also inducted into the Tulsa Public Schools Athletic Hall of Fame.
