English professional Lee Westwood took time out from his preparations for the SAA Open to conduct a clinic for players from the SA Golf Development Board (SAGDB) at Humewood this week. The clinic was supported by SAA, who are also sponsors of the SAGDB.
The clinic was an opportunity for the SAGDB youngsters to meet a top professional and learn from the experience Westwood has gained during his impressive career.
SAGDB manager for Eastern Province, John Bailey, said that Westwood interacted well with the kids and demonstrated a number of different techniques to show how important it is to be able to play different kinds of shots on the golf course.
"The most important thing for the kids was them seeing first hand what a pro does and how he goes about doing it," Bailey said. "It was great, and they enjoyed it."
"They also asked a lot of questions," Bailey added, "and Lee spoke about things like education as well, so the kids can understand what it entails to become a pro one day. Lee spoke about the commitment and dedication, but most importantly going out and enjoying the game."
