High Point’s Drew Weaver will host this year’s Wyndham Championships Youth Golf Clinic on Tuesday, Aug. 17.
Weaver will work with First Tee of the Triad staff to teach kids some of the finer points of golf at the Gillespie Park Golf Course practice facility from 4 – 5:30 p.m. This facility is also the Greensboro location of The First Tee of the Triad. Refreshments will be available, and kids participating in the golf clinic will receive free Wyndham Championship hats. This event is open to the public, and admission is free.
Weaver, 23, is competing on the eGolf Tour, one of the top minor professional golf tours on the East Coast. The Virginia Tech alumnus is playing the Wyndham Championship on a sponsor’s exemption; his only other Wyndham appearance came in 2008 when he missed the cut while playing as an amateur. He attempted PGA TOUR qualifying school last year but did not advance into the third stage. Weaver won the 2007 British Amateur, and he played in the Masters and the British Open as the winner of the British Amateur. He qualified for the U.S. Open last year and finished tied for 40th.
