2 2017 KEARNEY COUNTRY CLUB JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAM A great season is planned for the Junior Golf Program. Please pay special attention to the schedule and mark your calendar accordingly. Golf is one of the greatest sports a child can learn. There are many benefits to learning a life time sport like golf. With our ever advancing technological society, more kids are missing out on physical activity and quality family time. When a child learns how to golf, physical activity, quality family time and discussions are disguised as a fun and competitive game. As your children continue to grow and live their life they will find themselves faced with many decisions and opportunities that are time sensitive and have an expiration date; golf is something that will be available before, after, and along with these opportunities. Kearney Country Club, its PGA Professionals, and other staff are driven and passionate about teaching the game of golf to adults and juniors alike. We are committed to creating many different types of players throughout a child s advancement through our program. Depending on the goals of you and your child, we will work to create golfers for every walk of life; Charity Scrambles, Social/Work Weekends, Friendly Competitions, and Highly Competitive Tournament Golfers. We will continue to offer 2 segments with a similar schedule to years past, but continue to evolve the curriculum every year. Age Recommendation: 5-8 Age Recommendation : 9-12 () Age Recommendation: Example Curriculum: : High use of the Snag Equipment, High emphasis on FUNdementals while utilizing contests and activities with similar movements to a golf swing, & presenting the enjoyment of the game : Higher use of regular golf equipment, Increase consistency of golf performance, transition of skills to the course, & emphasis on proper golf etiquette on the course : PLEASE SEE THE FINAL PAGE OF THIS PACKET FOR INFORMATION ON THE NEW EXPERIENCED JR GOLF PROGRAM!!! ***Age groups are recommendations only!

6 All New Program!! Kearney Country Club has a strong beginner and intermediate junior golf program. It is time to grow our experienced junior program to keep our players engaged in the sport! Some may participate in this program to become State Champions and others may participate just to have a fun summer activity. We believe that this program can help in achieving a variety of different goals. Schedule-This group will meet every Tuesday in June and July at 10:00AM. Each week we will review a practice activity or 2 for about 30 minutes and then everyone will play a certain number of holes. The amount of holes played will depend on each Juniors skill level and time allotment. Prerequisites-Each Junior participating in this program should be able to: Play holes from at least the Yellow Tees Understand On Course Etiquette Have the motivation to practice once the activity is explained before play Progress-From the playing of holes we will be able to tell what items need the most practice and detail the practice activities towards those areas. If a particular player(s) needs work on something within the swing they may be initially out of the playing of holes during a particular day to work on that swing correction. **Above all golf is about HAVING FUN!! Again, we will help those wanting to play golf at the highest level as well as those who are just wanting to play the game recreationally!** Junior Name: Age: Parent Names: Parent address: Parent phone numbers: Emergency contact & number:
