EASTCHESTER, N.Y. (December 21, 2011) - Leewood Golf Club in Eastchester, N.Y., is home to GOLFWORKS alumnus Herman “Trapper” Van Dunk, who has been the club’s head superintendent since 2006. In 1994, Van Dunk was one of twelve students who participated in the inaugural season of GOLFWORKS, the MGA Foundation’s student intern program, which at the time had just six Met Area clubs participating. Eighteen years later, GOLFWORKS is flourishing, with 240 deserving high school students working at 78 Met Area clubs.
