MABGA Junior Golf Program Announces Its First Two Outings for 2019
March 27, 2019
Yardley, PA, March 25, 2019 – – Every year, The Middle Atlantic Blind Golf Association's Junior Golf Program holds monthly outings and clinics for boys and girls age 7-21 who are blind or visually impaired. All skill levels are welcome, and their clinics are free. This year's first outing will be held on Saturday, March 30th at Makefield Highlands Golf Club in Yardley, PA. The second outing of the year will be held on April 13th at Clearbrook Golf Club in Monroe, NJ.
Sponsored by The Middle Atlantic Blind Golf Association, the Junior Golf Program provides each player with a PGA teacher who will give lessons at a golf course near players' houses. They also provide golf clubs, golf balls, and a golf bag.
"Our goal is to teach kids golf, but also to provide a fun-filled day for our families," says Mike Molloy, Program Director of the Junior Program. "Our success is measured in smiles."
Without the help of local golf clubs and professionals, their organization would not exist. Sometimes the sponsoring club participates with a pro or assistant giving a short lesson or floating from group to group, offering advice and encouragement. The junior golfers usually play for about two hours and then sit down to an informal meal together, where families have an invaluable opportunity to network.
"Making a positive impact though golf with MABGA is a highlight every year on our calendar," says Makefield Highlands PGA Director of Golf, David Smith. "Our team here is excited to work with the students from MABGA because the vision that these students possess comes from the heart and mind. It's a day all golfers should witness. P
lease come out and experience the joy."
