RIVERMEAD GOLF CLUB Junior Program 2018
About the 2018 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 e-mail. 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. Three Junior Camps will be held in 2018 and they are limited to 15 participants per camp class. The cost is $450 plus applicable taxes per student. $300 for each additional junior for the same family. 1.
