2011 Junior Golf Program
This program is designed to teach children , ages 8 to 15 years old, the game of golf and how to become involved and play competitive golf. This year we will be offering two six week sessions for our participants. We would enjoy instructing your child during either session, or both. The first session will start May 9th and go through June 16th. The second session will begin June 21st and end July 28th. Once again, we will hold two practices per week, either Monday & Wednesday’s, or, Tuesday & Thursday’s with 3 different times available for the parents and children to choose from. Also, depending on participation levels, we will be trying to arrange at least one day class.
This program is designed for all levels of golf; from the very beginner to the advanced junior golfers. The practices are designed to teach all aspects of the game, including: putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, full swings, the basic rules of golf, etiquette, course management, trouble and/or specialty shots, and probably a long list of other shots.
This year we are happy to announce that our instructor will be Scott Manyon once again. Scott has directed many junior programs in the past and has a fresh outlook on how this curriculum will be maintained.
We will try to divide practices based on ages, but special needs will be considered and accommodated as needed. This year we will be focusing on improving not only the physical skills needed for golf, but also on how to prepare for a round of golf, how to save strokes by using a better mental approach, and ways to improve your game away from the golf course. We encourage all golfers to attend as many practices as possible, but there are no minimum or maximum requirements for attendance. Practices will be approximately 55 minutes per session.
Times available: Monday & Wednesday, and Tuesday & Thursday’s:
4:30 to 5:25
5:30 to 6:25
6:30 to 7:25
Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday (whichever is in more in demand):
10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
The program cost this year is $65 per session. Any golfer participating in the program will be able to play at Bryden Canyon Golf Course for only $10 during the programs time frame, or, they may buy a Season Pass which allows unlimited play for only $99 (regularly priced at $150).
Sign up today by calling or stopping by the golf shop. Call the golf shop at (208) 746-0863, or call Scott’s cell phone at (208) 816-1085.
We will be encouraging all of our junior participants to enter and play in the series of tournaments that will be held in the valley throughout June and July of this year. There will be one tournament at each of the valley golf courses and two at Bryden Canyon Golf Course. We will be sending more information home with your child as it becomes available.
