To the Parents
I will encourage your children throughout this junior program. Learning to play golf is a tremendous challenge for every golfer. I am providing this junior program for balance, instruction and positive incentives to encourage young golfers to reach their potential in the game. I will focus on every aspect of the game, from tee to green, to proper etiquette and rules. It is important for our juniors to have a strong understanding of the game. This is a game they can play the rest of their lives.
Thank you,
