Rory McIlroy Holds Junior Golf Clinic in Brooklyn
Published: Last updated:
Fresh from his second major victory Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy has been sharing his tips with young golfers at the City Parks Foundation’s Junior Golf Center in Brooklyn.
The world number one teamed up with Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts and City Parks, a New York City organisation, to deliver a clinic to 50 junior golfers aged 10 to 17.
McIlroy led the day with a demonstration of his practice routine and answered questions from participants. The young golfers then rotated through driving, putting and chipping stations while receiving tips and techniques for improving their game.
“I spent my day with Jumeirah in one of my favorite cities, New York!” said McIlroy at the end of the clinic. “It was great to see so many kids enjoy the game of golf and for me to be able to help them in some way.”
Jumeirah Group has sponsored McIlroy from the very first year he turned professional in 2007, having spotted his prodigious talent early on.
The 23-year-old was in the New York area ahead of the first FedEx Cup Playoff event, The Barclays, held at Bethpage on the Black course.
