Philly EWGA Wins S.W.I.N.G Program Award |
|
Contact MaryBeth Kuriger to Join the SWING Program
Even though we are the smallest chapter in the 1-A division, we led other, much larger chapters like Long Island in the number of mentors and mentees. We boasted 29 mentor-mentee matchups in 2009.
We owe much of our success to the hard work of President Dot Rooney and the members who volunteered to serve as mentors to new golfers. Mentors agreed to play golf at least twice with a new golfer, coaching and encouraging her on golf etiquette, pace of play and all those facets of golf that can be so intimidating to a new player.
"I am very proud to have won this award," stated Dot Rooney. "We had a great response to this program this year. Thanks to all of you who participated. I hope you will continue to participate in the future," she concluded.
If you are just starting out in the sport, please consider joining our S.W.I.N.G.program. Our new Golf Education Chair, MaryBeth Kuriger, will take charge of the program now that Dot has assumed the presidency. We especially need experienced golfers to serve as mentors to pass on their knowledge and love of the game. Contact MaryBeth at
