The Wichita Junior Golf Foundation will offer an eight-week summer program for beginning golfers ages 9-18. The eight weeks only cost $25, making it a very low-cost way to get your kids started with golf. This eight-week summer program is held in June and July.
Registration for Junior Golf opens on April 1. This popular program is likely to be full, so sign up early.
The all-volunteer foundation covers green fees, subsidizes the lessons, and furnishes equipment if needed. This is an excellent opportunity for young people.
The program will teach kids the rules and basic skills of golf, including etiquette, chipping, putting, and full swing. At the end of the season, participants will have the opportunity to play in tournaments at each course.
About the Wichita Junior Gold Foundation Summer Lessons:
-
Wichita Junior Golf Foundation teaches kids, ages 9-18 the rules and basic skills of golf. It is an eight-week summer program held in June and July.
-
The program is $25 for the eight-week summer session. All juniors new to the program must enroll in the beginners program.
- The Beginner Program is offered to junior golfers (ages 9-18) at typically at Auburn Hills and MacDonald Golf Courses. Juniors must turn 9 before August 1, to be eligible. The beginner’s program provides instruction in rules and etiquette during the first 30 minutes of class, followed by lessons on the driving range, learning chipping, full swing, and putting. Juniors spend one class day on the golf course playing 3-holes. Golfers only spend one summer in the beginner program and advance the following summer to play in the player’s program at one of the other courses.
- The Players Program is for returning players. It offers 18-holes, 9-holes, 5-holes, 4-holes, or 3-holes. Golfers who participated in the beginner program last summer can sign up for a 3-hole or 4-hole program this year.
NEXT STEPS:
Every parent must volunteer at least one day for their child to be able to participate in the program. Parents will receive an email from the Course Leader 1-2 weeks before the first class. If you have any questions, please email the Course Leader.
