Borger native Shawn Holcomb was present at Twisted Oaks Golf Club in rural Bowie on Saturday afternoon to put on a golf clinic.
“It was a lot of fun to do that,” Holcomb said. “I got to see the kids, new faces, and show them long driving.”
Holcomb also participated in full round with the Bowie High School players who attended the session – Tessla Brewer, Sam Cole, Trent Parr and Jared Stone.
“Shawn was very personable and welcoming,” said Bowie head boys’ and girls’ golf coach Jonathon Horton. “He was able to get the kids excited about golf, and give them the motivation to play more.”
Bowie will open the season on March 6 at the Wichita Falls Invitational (Champions Course in Weeks Park).
Horton said Twisted Oaks PGA professional Ron Moxom is attempting to rebuild the youth golf program at the course, and that he’s off to a good start.
“Shawn and his dad, Dan, are good friends of mine,” Moxom said, “and they were happy to help the kids. This exhibition is just the start of our year at Twisted Oaks.”
Holcomb showed the golfers how to drive, including punch shots and low shots meant to cut into the wind – which does blow fiercely here in north Texas at times. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
