Our focus for 2024 was revamping our after-school program. We incorporated the U.S Kids Golf learning program and this was a huge success.
We also put a big focus on “buddy” golf lessons for our girls. Girls place great importance on friendships, so finding ways to encourage these friendships is very important within our program.

PGA Jr League (2 season) (70 kids per season)
