Although most of the students that attended Rob Strano's deaf golf camp during THE PLAYERS Championship this year were in high school, Strano invites students of all ages to attend his one of a kind clinic. The former Tour professional started the United States Deaf Golf Camp upon his retirement from professional golf in 2003, after noticing the lack of instruction available to those that use sign language as their primary form of communication. Just five years later, Strano has used visual tools to teach hundreds of golf clinics to students of all ages and skills. He's also invited numerous PGA Tour professionals to attend his clinics, giving students that largely learn visually a chance to see professionals at work.
This year, 2002 THE PLAYERS Championship winner Craig Perks and John Merrick stopped by with some quick tips. Perks said that although he's traveled the world and worked with countless charities, he's never done anything like this. Guess that makes two memorable moments for him at THE PLAYERS.
