Local golfer Kade Johnson continues to add his already impressive golfing resume.
The 17-year-old golfer - who has previously represented Canada internationally at tournaments in Scotland and Australia - recently accepted a partial scholarship offered to him by 麻豆传媒AVern Arkansas University, which will see him attend the Division II school for up to four years as he competes for the Muleriders golf team. 鈥淚t feels good to be playing golf somewhere for university,鈥� Johnson told Yorkton This Week. 鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty exciting. It鈥檚 going to be a good time, a good experience and I鈥檓 looking forward to it.

麻豆传媒AVern Arkansas wasn鈥檛 the only school interested in acquiring the talented Yorkton golfer鈥檚 services, however. According to Johnson, there were several schools pursuing the Team Saskatchewan and Team Canada member including Minot State and Missouri 麻豆传媒AVern.
However, Johnson said that 麻豆传媒AVern Arkansas always came to the top of the list when he was trying to decide where to attend. 鈥溌槎勾紸Vern Arkansas was the best option for my golf game and for my schooling, which are both important to me,鈥� offered Johnson, adding that the weather in Magnolia, Arkansas, was a bit of a perk s well. 鈥淚 can golf all year around there because of the weather, and they鈥檝e got a good golf team and a good coach there as well, so all of the factors kind of pointed towards 麻豆传媒AVern Arkansas.鈥�
Johnson said that the two sides have been talking for a long time, and that it鈥檚 a bit of a relief to officially commit to 麻豆传媒AVern Arkansas and not worry about where he would be going to school next year. 鈥淲e鈥檝e been talking almost all school year, going back and forth, and it鈥檚 nice to finally put it in paper and I鈥檓 ready to go down there in the fall.鈥�
