Parkland, Fla. – Former U.S. Amateur Champion and current PGA TOUR professional Matt Kuchar recently hosted a junior clinic at Parkland Golf & Country Club in Parkland, Florida. During the hour-long clinic held on October 15, Kuchar offered Parkland Golf & Country Club juniors valuable insights into the mindset and work ethic required to achieve success on and off the course, encouraging juniors to stay patient, practice purposefully, and always enjoy the game.
Over a dozen junior golfers and their parents attended the clinic at which Kuchar shared how he got started in golf – from his early days and collegiate career at Georgia Tech to winning the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1997 and earning an invitation to The Masters tournament, where he played alongside Tiger Woods. After his talk, Kuchar gave a short-game demonstration, revealing some of his favorite chipping techniques, including a few clever tricks using a 9-iron and a hybrid. The session concluded with a Q&A followed by photos and autographs, making it a memorable day for all in attendance.
