Union County, NJ – The Union County Board of County Commissioners invites persons with physical disabilities and veterans to participate in the “First Swing” golf clinic on Saturday, September 25, from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. at the Learning Center located at Union County’s Galloping Hill Golf Course in Kenilworth.
Admission is free but pre-registration is required at www.ucnj.org/opdsn-reg.
“The First Swing golf clinic provides an introduction to the recreational and therapeutic benefits of golfing. We are very proud to offer First Swing as part of our inclusive programming at Galloping Hill, where golfers of all ages and skill levels are welcome,” said Commissioner Board Chairman Alexander Mirabella.
No golfing experience is needed to participate in the First Swing clinic. Participants who have clubs should bring a seven or eight iron and a putter. A limited number of clubs will be available for those who need them.
Methods of grip, stance and swing will be discussed. Participants can improve their functional skills such as range of motion and balance, and learn about adaptive equipment that will assist them in executing the golf swing.
The event is organized by the Union County Office for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs, and the Office of Veteran services.
