Junior Development Program

Hamrick Golf’s

2022 SUMMER SEMESTER

Thanks for showing interest in Hamrick Golf’s Junior Development Program. The program will be held at both Elkhorn Golf Club and Micke Grove Golf Links. This program is designed to introduce juniors (6-14) to the game and help them understand how it is played. Playing from different positions (putting/chipping/pitching/approach), the students will play holes and learn:

Basic Putting, Chipping, Pitching, and Full Swing Skills
How to keep a scorecard
Basic rules and etiquette

While providing a fun and competitive atmosphere, the students will also be introduced to basic shot making skills and mental concepts.

The program is made up of 4 groups

GOPHER’S 1&2 (Ages 6-9), LITTLE LINKSTER’S (9-11), and BIG BOMBER’S (10-14).
