The event at Avenel will be the first of its kind, where golf professionals with experience in junior golf coaching and instruction will provide lessons to the children from The Inn in a world class golf setting. Assistant Golf Pro Derek Stenson and other certified instructors from TPC Potomac will be directing this event. Maryland State Golf Association’s Executive Director, Kelly Newland, PGA , has committed to the successful launch of this special adaptive golf program for children, and will also be in attendance.
