For over 20 years, Jimmy Garvin ran programs at Langston Golf Course that included creating a learning center in the clubhouse where he used the game of golf as a carrot to get kids to focus on their education as well as exposing new destinations to a traveling team of All-Stars that competed against their peers abroad.   Jimmy Garvin served as President of Golf Course Specialists, the longtime lease-holder of the three DC courses.  He and his Legacy Foundation had a profound impact on many kids in this region who were able to see the game of golf as a vehicle to something greater.

His programs came to a halt in 2012 after a well-publicized case involving a DC Councilmember who misused funds intended for these programs.  Jimmy was forced to restart and eventually became part of the ownership group at Marlton Golf Course in PG County and today manages Rock Creek Park Golf Course.
