  • New Skills: Scorekeeping, Pre-shot routine, Punch Shots, Uneven Lies, High/Low Shots

  • The Values: Respect, Courtesy, Sportsmanship, Honesty, Perseverance, and more!

In this level, students spend time honing their skills and developing new skills. Half of each class is spent integrating students to on-course play. Each week has an on-course focus, including tee box, putting green, through the green, pace of play, and scorekeeping. Students will spend 60 minutes on the golf course each week, learning how to apply their skills to the course, work with other teammates, and understand their personal playing style. The first 60 minutes of class will be focused on perfecting existing skills, introducing new skills, including uneven lies, punch shots, and high/low shots, along with a rules discussion and competition.

Equipment is provided, though we suggest purchasing US Kids golf clubs for students.

Class size is limited to 12 and run for 120 minutes weekly.
