How aspiring junior golfers can win a chance to train with Brooke Henderson

Brooke Henderson — a longtime top-10 player and winner of nine LPGA Tour events — is offering junior golfers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: the chance to win a virtual training session and meet-and-greet with her.

Thanks to Skechers, Henderson’s longtime footwear sponsor, teenage golfers between 13 and 18 years old can enter the contest by submitting a one- to two-minute video or 500-1,000-word essay that explains why they want to play like an elite golfer, and they maintain that mindset off the course in daily life.

The Skechers “Meet Our Elite” contest will also award $2,500 to the grand-prize winner, which can be used toward school and/or training, as well as six months’ worth of Skechers footwear. Two additional runner-up winners will receive $500 toward school/training and three months’ worth of Skechers footwear.

Interested applicants can submit their essays or videos to golf@skechers.com with the subject line “Skechers Meet Our Elite Contest Entry.” But hurry — the application period ends on Saturday, May 1, at 1 p.m. ET.
