Girls and golf were the themes of the day Tuesday afternoon at Marshfield Country Club.
The Women’s South Shore Golf League celebrated 100 years in existence, and part of the celebration was an event called “Girls on Course.” It was a free, full-day golf experience for South Shore girls ages 5-17 at Marshfield Country Club.
The organization aimed to welcome 100 girls and ended up with 130 due to the level of interest. The participating girls learned golf skills from New England PGA professionals and also enjoyed food, face painting, socializing and an ice cream truck.
The Women’s South Shore Golf League said this centennial event is a powerful opportunity to recognize the legacy of Massachusetts women in the game, spotlight a community that sustains it and ignite a passion for golf in the next generation.
“A group of women got together and started to create this organization to play and compete and practice, and we’re hoping that’s what we can do with the kids here,” James Antonelli, general manager of Marshfield Country Club, said.
