 2012 Youth Golf Instruction The Youth Golf Development Program, under the direction of Michael Wenzel, 2011 IPGA Junior Golf Leader, focuses on skills development and individual progression through five levels, with objective testing to measure improvement. Students begin with the basics and practice their skills on the range and the course. A low student-to-coach ratio allows for personal attention to enhance learning.
Future Stars: Level 1 (Ages 5-8) Introduce children to the game of golf with instruction covering the basics of putting, chipping and the full swing. Children will learn their way around a golf course and receive a free round of mini-golf at Sportsman's.
