Watson Links’ partnership with LPGA-USGA Girls Golf continues to shine through stories like that of Caprina Yarosz — a powerful example of how early support and mentorship can shape a young golfer’s path. Inspired by time on the course with her grandfather, Caprina grew within the Girls Golf Jersey Shore community, developing her skills while stepping into leadership roles that allowed her to mentor younger players. Her journey reflects the shared mission of Watson Links and Girls Golf.
