In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Port Royal Golf Course, the Weekly Free Golf Clinic recently launched, with the event being held on Sundays at 3.00pm.
A spokesperson said, “Kim Swan, teaching pro with the Port Royal Developmental Golf Program, expressed delight after the successful launch of the Weekly Free Golf Clinic in honour of Port Royal’s 50 years of operation as a world class public golf course.
“These free clinics will be held weekly on Sunday at 3.00pm to give a opportunity for anyone to walk on and experience the great game of golf and receive a free golf evaluation.”
Mr. Swan said, “It’s not lost on me that in this, the 50th year of Port Royal Golf Course, I was attracted to the game 50 years ago because this outstanding public golf course was built by the Bermuda Government in my community.
“I am humbled to also be the Chairman of the Board of Trustees at this moment in time to pay homage to those who have come before me with such a bold vision and genuine love for the game of golf.”
The spokesperson said, “The 50th anniversary Weekly Golf Clinic is dedicated to the contribution of Banker Reginald Tucker of St. George’s, George Wardman, Hubert Smith, Eric Parker, Noel Van Putten, Herman ‘Tucci’ Bascome, Frankie & Alora Rabain, Martin Greaves, Betty Vincent, Wilfred Ralph Fray, and the one and only Walter King, in particular.”
Mr. Swan said, “The influence of these persons and others were immeasurable and I salute their contribution by giving back to the sport that opened the doors to the world to me. in less than 10 years after learning golf at Port Royal Golf Course, I had won college events in USA [Louisiana and Alabama], became the first Bermudian to qualify for the PGA European Tour and the youngest winner of the Bermuda Open in 1978 at age 20.”
