Childrens Golf Clinic - May 25th 2011

Below are some photos from the Childrens Golf lessons this week. We are starting to see some progress with the boys and girls. We held their first competitive play competition over a 75 yard hole this week and saw some excellent scores ranging from a 3 (par) to some 7s. Good work kids, keep it up.

It is great to see the growth of the group as we are now up to 8-10 children per week. More children are always welcome. Remember it is only $5 per child per week, which includes snack, juices and often prizes.

A big thank you to the Roaring River Golf Course. Also to Mickey Thornton who gives up his time to teach the children. Plus of course Gobie Challenge who continues to sponsor our group.
