“First Swing/Learn to Golf” Clinic

Hi! I wanted to let you know about a “First Swing/Learn to Golf” Clinic coming up on Sunday, June 3rd at Braintree Municipal Golf Course in Braintree, MA. Many thanks to PGA Professional Bob Beach for hosting the clinic at Braintree! I hope all of you can come and join Bob and EAGA Members for this golf clinic. The clinic is for anyone with a physical disability. If you have never tried the game of golf, this is the perfect time. If you are already playing this great game, please stop by to pick up a tip or two to improve your swing.

Jim Abbott's new book - 'Imperfect' - available April 2012

On an overcast September day in 1993, Jim Abbott took the mound at Yankee Stadium and threw one of the most dramatic no-hitters in major-league history. The game was the crowning achievement in an unlikely success story, unseen in the annals of professional sports. In Imperfect, the one-time big league ace retraces his remarkable journey.

Born without a right hand, Jim Abbott as a boy dreamed of being a great athlete.
