Ultimate golf experience
A few years ago, it would have been hard to imagine that golf would become a popular sport among young people.In particular, Bahamian youngsters.
After all, golf was a sport that old men, who had retired played to pass the time.
The young people who did play it, came from wealthy, predominately white, families.
But it wasn't until Tiger Woods emerged on the scene that the sport of golf became popular among Bahamian youngsters.
Since that time, Bahamian youngsters have converged on golf courses around the country.
For any young Bahamian golfer, getting the opportunity to play on the international circuit is always a dream.
But for those who may be more serious about learning the sport, it's a dream come true to be able to attend a major golf camp in the United States.
