GREEN LEVEL TRAINING PROGRAM
After the completion of Hook a Kid on Golf, clinic youngsters will be given a chance to advance to the next level called the Birdie League. The Green Level Training Program gives youngsters practical experience on the golf course using a fun format that stresses the importance of learning the rules & etiquette of the game. In addition, most youngsters also need training on basic course management like avoiding hazards, playing in different weather conditions and how to properly read greens and children will not learn these important aspects of the game unless they learn them on the golf course. This league is comprised of six mini lessons, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of the game. This class is designed to improve the students’ game by teaching proper fundamentals. This class can be taken while enrolled in one of the leagues.
