1 RIVERMEAD GOLF CLUB Junior Program and Camps 2019

2 About the Rivermead Junior Program The Rivermead Junior Program includes: 14 weekly one-hour group lessons for five different age categories (Bilingual instruction is available). Each participant receives verbal video analysis of their swing which will be sent via . Instruction will cover all aspects of the game of golf. We will hold five (5) junior tournaments at Rivermead in 2018 as part of the Kuster Kup for ages 7 to 18. Points will be awarded similar to the PGA Tour FedEx Cup. Results will be posted after every event on the Junior Board outside the Pro Shop. Juniors must play in three of the five events to qualify for prizes and the take-home winner s trophy in each age division. Juniors may participate in the Kuster Kup but choose not to be part of the competition. The 2-day Junior Club Championship will be Rounds 3 and 4 of the Kuster Kup. The Awards presentation for the Club Championship and Kuster Kup will take place after the final round. There will be two qualifying rounds for the Rivermead Roadrunners Junior Intersectional Team. There will be two Parent/Mentor/Junior Scrambles. One in the spring and one in the fall. All nonmember parents/grandparents or mentors are welcome to play 9/18 holes with their child or junior for only $20 with all proceeds going to the Rivermead Junior Development Program. The Rivermead annual Drive, Chip and Putt Contest for ages 7 to 18 is a very popular event. This contest is lots of fun and excellent preparation for any junior who may wish to become more competitive in this event with the chance to compete at Augusta National during Masters week. Throughout the season the Junior Clinics will include discussions on the Rules of Golf as well as physical fitness training and instruction on the mental approach to golf. The Junior Program is conducted by our Head Golf Instructor, Ralph Kuster who has instructed 22 junior boys and girls who have gone on to receive golf scholarships in the United States. Ralph enjoys working with juniors and has fully bilingual assistants to ensure each student is receiving maximum attention and instruction. Ralph has more than 25 years of experience in the golf industry. He began his career as an apprentice at the Board of Trade Golf Club in Toronto working under Murray Tucker, one of only a handful of CPGA Master Professionals in Canada.
