3rd Annual Junior Girls Clinic

The 2009 MWGA-PGA Junior Girls Clinic will be held early next month at Rush Creek Academy at Rush Creek Golf Course. Coming off two wildly successful years, this free clinic runs from 8:30 am to 1:00pm on Saturday, May 2, and will include skills training, course management, fitness and nutrition, rules and etiquette, and lots of fun.

Twelve PGA teaching professionals, joined by the top amateur women golfers, will instruct the girls on skills needed to enjoy the game of golf. In each of the past two years, more than 250 girls with a wide range of ability levels have benefited from the clinic. The girls, ages 8-19, are first separated by skill level based on the information they provide on the registration form and then sorted by age. 

For the advanced participants, there will be a special clinic conducted in the Academy where participants receive cd's with their videotaped swing analysis, and more personalized instruction. Golf teams are encouraged to participate in this special clinic - what a great way to kick off the golf season. 

It takes more than 40 volunteers to conduct registration, lead the clinic segments, and provide beverages, snacks, lunch and door prizes. Members of MWGA, MWPGA and the Gophers Women's Golf Team will be volunteering again this year to move the girls from station to station and work at the various stations. 

If you would like to volunteer for this great event or have items to donate for prizes for the girls, please contact Joan Archer by April 20, 2009 at: joan@mnbev.com, 612-961-4488 cell.
