different golf lessons and programs to fit all skill levels. Be sure

     Beginning Junior Golf Lessons - Girls Only
     (Level 1)
     Ages 6-13
     With another successful year in 2020, we will be bringing back our
     Girls Only Junior Golf Class. We created this golf class for young
     ladies looking to learn the game with just their female peers. These
     golf lessons will cover what it takes to enjoy the game as a junior
     golfer, as well as how to respect the game through learning the
     proper etiquette needed for playing on a golf course. Students will
     learn the proper grip, stance, posture, full swing, chipping, putting,
     and the tee shot. Bring your clubs to the first class (if you don’t have
     clubs, they will be provided). Registration is now being taken. No
     make-up dates! Fee includes range balls. Space is limited to the first
     20 paid juniors.                                                           Beginning Junior Golf Lessons II (Level 2)
