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.
The first year a junior enrolls in the
program, he/she must enroll in one of the beginner programs at Auburn
Hills or Sierra Hills. If the golf professional and the volunteer leader
determine that a junior shows enough golf skill as well as knowledge of
the golf rules to advance to a playing program, the junior may change
programs during the season.
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. |
