Golf 2012

The spring 2012 Instructional Golf Program will be open to boys and girls who are 11-18 years of age. 
The cost of the Program will be $125. We meet from mid-April to mid-June one afternoon. 
We will again offer two levels of play: (1) basic/intermediate skills and (2) on the course play.  Parents will not have the opportunity to merely register for on the course play.

EQUIPMENT—Your son or daughter will need his or her own equipment. At a minimum that should include a metal wood (driver or fairway), mid-iron (5, 6, or 7 iron), wedge, putter, and bag. Most starter sets include these clubs. Starter sets vary in price, but reasonably inexpensive sets can be purchased at general sporting goods stores like Sports Authority or Dick’s; in addition, the Rattlewood pros can help you fit your child for clubs and will order them for you. Sneakers are fine and golf shoes with plastic cleats are also ok.
The weather is likely to be quite variable in April and May, so be sure your child has a jacket and hat/visor. You may want to consider getting your child a golf glove as we will be spending significant time practicing the full swing, but it is not mandatory. Your child should have some tees and a few golf balls at first.

Please be aware, golf registration tends to fill up quickly. I strongly suggest that you sign up as soon as registration opens. We will have only 40 spots available this year, once the limit has been reached, a waiting list will be started. Should spots come open, they will be filled from the waiting list first-come-first-served. Participants from last season will not receive special consideration. Please do not register your child if he or she cannot attend a significant majority of the sessions; I don’t want to withhold a spot from a more committed player. 

Finally, as more kids move onto the course, we will need parent chaperones; if you are interested, please let me know. If you have any questions prior to registration, please feel free to e-mail me. I look forward to another successful year of Golf!
