Malvern’s Bryn Mawr Rehab Hosts First Swing Golf Clinic
Last week, Malvern’s Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital, part of Main Line Health, hosted the 2016 First Swing Golf Clinic in partnership with the Eastern Amputee Golf Association (EAGA) and RiverCrest Golf Club & Preserve.
Despite the rainy weather, 23 eager golfers took part in the clinic. A representative from the EAGA, four RiverCrest Golf pros, and 16 staff members from Bryn Mawr Rehab helped out with the lessons throughout the day.
The diversity of participants included individuals with amputation, stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Some participants had never golfed before, while others were back on the course for the first time since their injury/illness.
“The golf event is truly inspiring and reminds us all why we chose to work at a place like Bryn Mawr Rehab,” said Clare Small-McEvoy, Director of Therapy Services.
Bryn Mawr Rehab offered the program at no cost to participants through the generous support of the following sponsors:
- Lawall Prosthetic & Orthotic Services
- Kinetic Prosthetics
- BOAS Surgical
- Brandywine Living
- Cocco Enterprises, Inc.
- Prosthetic Innovations, LLC
- Baylinks Golf
- Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc.
