Boys and girls 10 through 18 years old are
eligible to participate in the Wichita Junior Golf program. The junior
must be 10 no later than August 31 of the current year.
1. A 10 year old junior must enroll in a beginner program at
either Auburn Hills Golf Course or Sierra Hills Golf Course.
2. Other juniors who have never been in a golf program must enroll
in one of the beginner programs.
3. Junior golfers who wish to transfer from another junior golf program to the WJGF program, and are older than 10 years of age, will enroll in one of the beginner programs at Auburn Hills or Sierra Hills. When the pro and the leader have determined that the junior has adequate skills and knowledge of the rules of golf, the junior may be transferred to a regular program as space allows.The beginners program provides
instruction in rules and etiquette, chipping, putting and the full
swing. One class day is spent on the golf course for 3 holes of play.
The junior golfer spends only one summer in the beginners program and
advances the next summer to one of the other five golf courses.
In the regular program, the junior
golfers play on the course every Monday. Scores are recorded to
determine the junior's advancement in the program to reach the 18 hole
level. Instruction in rules and etiquette and golf skills are also given
every week. The 18 hole group has the opportunity to be involved in team
play with juniors from the other courses. |
