Headline: MGA Links Junior Members Meet & Greet With Paula Creamer
Rockland, MA – Junior members from MGA Links at Mamantapett participated in a very special clinic hosted by LPGA star Paula Creamer at The Harmon Club in Rockland.
The clinic, which was sponsored by Citizens Bank and RBS, was an intimate affair with only 40 children taking part in the festivities.
Creamer, the youngest player in LPGA history to win a multi-round event and the youngest and fastest player to reach $1 million in career earnings, spoke to the participants about her experiences in golf and about the challenges that she has faced in her career.
She took some time to teach the children about the fundamentals of golf and showed them how to correctly hit a driver and pitching wedge, among other clubs. Creamer also answered questions throughout the clinic, and following the formal presentation, she took time to sit down with the children over lunch.
