Georgia Southern's Women's Golf team invites women to take a swing at the game of golf (or simply improve their skills) at the Southern Women Golf Clinic on Saturday, April 23, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
For a mere $60, participants will join the women to learn more about the program and receive hands-on instruction from the team members Ansley Bowman, Iben Hvass, Ariana Macioce, Yeji Shin, Annie Swords and Taylor Thompson, assistant coach Kortnie Maxoutopoulis and head coach Emily Kuhfeld.
The session includes three stations, at the driving range, on the putting green, and a chipping station. Participants will receive instruction for 45 minutes each station. A light breakfast will be provided, as well as a personal tour of the Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center.
All proceeds benefit the women's golf program which is rounding out its first year at Georgia Southern University with team members hailing from Arizona, Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, Louisiana and Denmark.
Head Coach Emily Kuhfeld came to Statesboro from Texas Tech, where she spent three campaigns as an assistant coach, helping guide Tech to some of its most successful seasons in program history. A native of Indianapolis, Kuhfeld earned her degree in history from Ohio State in 2005 after wrapping up her playing career. The captain of the 2004-05 squad, Kuhfeld was a four-time Academic All-Big 10 selection and helped lead the Buckeyes to the Big 10 title in each of her four seasons. Following graduation, she spent nearly two years as a professional player on the Futures Tour before moving on to caddie for Allison Hanna on the LPGA Tour.
The Southern Women Golf Clinic will take place at Athletic's less travelled facility, Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center, a 25-acre facility that consists of a team clubhouse, dedicated practice putting green, three-green short-game area, two-tiered practice tee, driving range and three practice holes.
