Central Alabama Sports Commission Board member Quincy Leonard wanted to do something significant and original for the area and created The Legacy Golf Championship. “Special appreciation goes to Shawn Freese, General Manager, Glenn McWhirter, Superintendent, and the entire staff at Lagoon Park Golf Course for their exceptional hospitality and support during this memorable event.” said PGA Certified Coach Leonard.

Coach Leonard is an African American Golfers Hall of Fame inductee and told WAKA Action News he was inspired by the city of Montgomery when he chose legacy for the tournament name. “Since Montgomery is rich in legacy, rich in heritage, rich different things, history, how about creating a legacy tournament that the young people can come experience Montgomery?” Quincy Leonard said.
