Open or last weekend’s Travelers Championship, you’re getting an itch to learn how to play golf. We are looking for three people who have no or very limited experience playing golf, but have a desire to learn how to drive straight down the fairway or chip on the green for an easy birdie or par. The participants of the Bulletin’s golf challenge will be matched with one of three seasoned local professionals Mohegan Sun Country Club’s Mike Svab, Norwich Golf Course’s Cameron Johnson and Willimantic Country Club’s Scott Potter. On the eighth week, the players will match up for a nine-hole tournament at Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug to see what they’ve learned. The Bulletin will also track your progress each Tuesday in the weekly Chip Shots golf column written by senior sportswriter Brian Girasoli. read more
