Parents PLEASE NOTE – we still have kids signing up everyday, so the 2018 Junior league pairings will be updated to this blog site on June 1st. 

Upon registration we had a lot of people request a 9:00-10:00 start time which will unfortunately be impossible to accommodate based on the amount of players that have signed up to play. In years past we started the older kids first and had the youngest kids teeing off last so that they wouldn’t get steamrolled by the older kids. I’d prefer to continue with this but it creates some carpool issues for those with siblings who are also participating

I understand that the heat is a concern for some parents, however with the proper preparations your kids will be able to survive the heat. below are some ideas to keep them cool and make sure they enjoy their round 

• Play ready golf. they should be able to get in and out in less that 2 hrs and 15 minutes if they are encouraging the other kids in their group to keep up with the group ahead of them.
• Stay hydrated. send them with a water botlle. We have a fountain that they can top off their bottles on hole #3 and hole #7
• Encourage them to Wait in the shade while they are waiting for the group ahead of them to get out of reach
• Also dont forget to have them wear a hat and sunscreen

Attention ALL 9th to 12th grade boys...

Boys golf tryouts will be Tues July 25th and Wed July 26th at The Barn Golf Club. There will be a mandatory meeting Tuesday at 9:00 AM and tee times will start around 10:00. Invite your friends to come and compete with one of the top teams in the state.

1o reasons to get your kids into golf today!

Make no mistake about it, Getting your kids involved in golf will be one of the greatest and most valuable gifts you will ever give them!

1. Anyone Can Play: Golfers come in all shapes and sizes. You don’t have to be particularly strong, tall, lean or fast to succeed. Golf champions come in every shape and size imaginable. It’s never too early to start, and unlike most other sports, you can enjoy golf your entire life!

2. Minimal Risk: Unlike many other popular sports like baseball, soccer and football, the chances of injury, especially serious injury, are almost nonexistent; golf is a noncontact sport.

3. Safe and Positive Environment: The golf course is a safe place and facilitates mentoring relationships.

4. Lifelong Friendships: You never know who you will meet on a golf course, but it’s one of the easiest places in the world to make friends. Success breeds success, and people who play golf are by in large more successful than the average bear. Those are the people you want your kids hanging out with! Best of all, golf creates a unique bond so those friendships can be developed all over the world and last a lifetime!

5. Prepare for Business: It’s hard to think about it now, but kids grow up and the people they meet as children can play a huge part in their success later in life. Golf is a sport that helps prepare kids and teens for careers in business and other professional arenas. Even at 12 I was learning about real-life business every day from all the adults I played with.

6. Time Spent Outdoors: In today’s world of video games, smart phones and child obesity, it can be hard to drag your son or daughter off the couch. Golf is the perfect excuse to spend an entire day enjoying nature and presents the opportunity to develop healthy, lifelong exercise habits!

7. Important Life Lessons: Golf closely parallels real life as one experiences the highs and lows of the game. The range of experience, from birdies to bogeys, rewards a young person’s ability to keep each shot in perspective, manage one’s emotions, maintain a positive outlook and focus on the shot at hand. Golf is a sport that will teach your child integrity, discipline and respect. As they learn to conduct themselves on the golf course, these lessons will translate directly into everyday life. 

8. College Scholarships: Avid golfers have a lot of opportunities when it comes to college funding. The earlier your child starts, the greater his or her chance is of gaining access to scholarship money.

                     

9. Spend Time with Family: Golf is a game that encourages family participation. When children are young, they enjoy doing just about anything with you (but it doesn’t long last, so start now). Golf is an opportunity for quality bonding time, and it’s one that can last a lifetime.

10. It’s FUN: This should probably be at the top of the list.  One of the best reasons to get your son or daughter involved with golf is that they’ll have an absolute blast. They’ll have the chance to learn new skills, both physical and mental, make new friends and discover new opportunities.

There are a million things you can buy your kids or gift your kids in the hope 

that it helps them learn and grow, but only a few make a real impact. 

Encouraging them to play golf is one!
