First Junior Girls Golf Clinic a Success
The
first in a series of three VSWGA sponsored Girls Golf Clinics was held July
10th at the Practice Tee and Manchester. PGA professional, Leo Reynolds
was the instructor. Thirty girls between the ages of 5 and 17
attended with many parents stayed on site to extract a "Leo Tip"
or two for themselves. They, along with the girls, did not leave without
gaining some great information and a new enthusiasm toward the game, thanks to
Leo's efforts!
The magazine, "Golf for Women", was on site complete with cameramen and a writer working on a story about Girls Golf in the Green Mountains.
Leo created an atmosphere for the clinic that was very professional, yet very comfortable for everyone, and the students were focused and working hard, while at the same time, having a lot of fun!
Leo was superb at introducing the 3 main
components of the golf swing that were to be
covered, keeping the message
simple and direct. Therefore, when the group broke into smaller units
and the assistants stepped in to help, improvement for each child was, at
times, immediate!
Jay Morrow, who runs the Practice Tee driving range, seemed very pleased to host the clinic and appreciated the plaque and gift basket from the VSWGA.
It was a great new start for Vermont girls golf. Two more clinics to go and we are expecting good numbers at both of these.
