Due to the success of our Girls Golf Club, we launched a Boys Golf Club. It is a monthly two hour class with one hour of golf games and stations and one hour of arts, STEM or crafts. It has been popular with our Boys age 9 and under. We added a 9 Hole Division to our Summer Match Play Championship. This is a summer long tournament with a bracket. The 9 Hole Division was very popular with 30 kids. We also added a Teen Short Game Class. It is four weeks of putting, wedges, chipping, pitching and sand. It has been very popular with 24 kids in four classes.
