LESSON PLAN and RAIN OUTS We have a set teaching progression for the 7 week program, although weather can often alter our set plan. If it is raining in the morning still plan on showing up, we will have an indoor chalk talk, rules and etiquette class. We will break into small teams and have a team quiz on golf rules, etiquette and other golf related topics.
WALKING PARENTS Your help is needed.
We will need help from parents to volunteer as walking parents. It is a simple job that only requires some familiarity with the game of golf. The rules and responsibilities of the walking parents are listed below.
Please phone the golf shop and let us know the dates you will be available to help. Most of the time we will try to place you with your child or grandchild, however if we are short handed we may need to assign you to another group. Phone 945-5553 ext 11 and inform anyone on the golf shop staff when you will be available and we will then assign you a group to walk with. Thank you for your assistance, the program would not be successful without parents who volunteer their time.
Also, many parents have come to realize that listening in on Junior Golf Fridays actually helps their own golf game. We highly encourage parents to listen in.
