Lynnfield Recreation is holding two fall after-school golf programs at Reedy Meadow Golf Course for children ages 8-14.
Session 1 will be held on Mondays from Sept. 9 through Oct. 14 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Session 2 will be held on Tuesdays from Sept. 9 through Oct. 14 also from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
The program is concentrated on several pillars: fun, improvement, and sportsmanship. Golf is a game that requires dedication, integrity, and patience. The program will focus on those pillars.
It also offers several opportunities for juniors to receive high-quality instruction, provided by the town’s PGA golf professionals and will feature several different styles of clinics. This program is a way for juniors to learn and play the game of golf in a fun and exciting team environment. It also gives them the opportunity to play with their fellow teammates, while receiving coaching and instruction from PGA golf professionals.
The goal is to teach juniors the game of golf, while at the same time, teaching them sportsmanship, integrity, and respect for others.
The format is a two-person team scramble (or three, if a substitute is included) who play together in games. Under the scramble format, both players hit drives. The best shot is selected, then each player plays from the selected spot. This process continues until the ball is holed.
The scramble format is key in allowing everyone to hit shots and contribute to the team. The Junior Golf Program utilizes match play scoring, which focuses on performance vs. a score-to-par, as is traditional with golf.
There will be no refunds unless Lynnfield Recreation can fill your spot. Children must bring their own golf clubs, balls, and tees.
