LPGA’S MADELENE
SAGSTROM AND DR.
DALE RICHARDSON
ALSO HOLD A
CLINIC FOR BGGA
Sweden’s Madelene Sagstrom spent time with
BGGA’s female students. Madelene was selected as
one of Annika Sorenstam’s captain’s picks for Team
Europe at the Solheim Cup.
BGGA was also honored to have Dr. Dale
Richardson participate in the clinic. Dr. Richardson
has an impressive array of professional golfers
under his care and implements a holistic approach
in developing his “player performance package”.
BGGA students were in the presence of golf royalty
at the Faldo Series U.S. Grand Final when Sir Nick
Faldo was in attendance to give a clinic on the
driving range and speak at the opening welcome
dinner.
Six-time Major-winner and record Ryder Cup points-
scorer Sir Nick Faldo revealed secrets of a long and
short-game that made him a World No. 1.
Sir Nick Faldo’s global junior development effort,
the Faldo Series, which hosts events in Europe,
Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America,
partnered with IJGT in 2017 to bring opportunities
for junior golfers in the United States to compete in
the Faldo Series.
Faldo’s tales from when he played competitively
kept the students on their toes and wanting
more. After the clinic, the tournament participants
attended a welcome dinner to kick off the event.
Faldo spoke about how he grew up playing the
game, giving the junior golfers wisdom about their
own paths to come.
