The Wichita Junior Golf Foundation will offer an eight-week program this summer for beginning golfers ages 9-18. The entire eight weeks only cost $25, which makes it a very low-cost way to get your kids started with golf. This eight-week summer program is held on Monday and Tuesday mornings in June and July.
Registration for Junior Golf opens on April 1, 2023. You probably want to sign up sooner rather than later for this popular program.
The all-volunteer foundation covers green fees, subsidizes the lessons, and furnishes equipment, if needed. This is a great 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.
This beginner program is offered for junior golfers (ages 9-18) at Auburn Hills and MacDonald Golf Courses that are NEW to the Wichita Junior Golf Foundation. 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.
Classes are two hours long on Tuesdays for eight weeks: June 6, 13, 20, 27; July 11, 18, 25; August 1.
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.
