City Parks Foundation sends Junior Golfer to Premier Golf Classic
Windsor Terrace High School Senior Heads to Florida This Month
City Parks Foundation is sending longtime CityParks Junior Golf Center player Kevin McGloin, a 17-year-old Windsor Terrace neighbor, to compete in his first national tournament this December. All expenses for McGloin’s trip to the Doral-Publix Junior Golf Classic in Florida will be covered by the scholarship, which was established last year and funded by City Parks Foundation, CityParks Golf spokesperson Cristie Kerr and the Trump Organization.
McGloin has been with the CityParks Golf program since 2005. He began his instruction in Dyker Beach Park, and has trained at the CityParks Junior Golf Center since it opened adjacent to the park in 2008. McGloin has shown dedication over the years, spending at least three hours practicing at the Golf Center five times a week, and volunteering on the driving range every Sunday to help the younger players.
McGloin holds the record for best score among the players at the Junior Golf Center and won the 2015 New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) Golf Championship. This past August, he was the winner of a 15 to 18 Boys Metropolitan PGA tournament at Middle Bay, and he currently ranks 20th overall in the Long Island Chapter.
