Golf Lessons with Sheenah Pegeron, President of the Shady Rest Golf Club

New Jersey native and former golf prodigy Sheenah Pegeron joins the girls for this wonderful episode recorded back in April (apologies for the delay!). We talk about her role as the president of the Shady Rest Golf Club, which carries on the legacy of the historic institution by bringing people together to play golf. Sheenah grew up playing (and winning) in the John Shippen youth golf program at Scotch Hills CC (the artist formerly known as the Shady Rest), but didn't know the full history of the club until a chance encounter with Lamont Davis in the parking lot of the course changed her life. We also talk about her teaching style and how she fosters a true love for the game among the youth, as well as her own illustrious junior career. Plus! A teaching moment featuring DMX (RIP).
