It is very rewarding to watch young boys and girls grow, not only as golfers, but as human beings as well. The values associated with the great game of golf – respect for the game, respect for others, respect for the golf course, respect for the rules, integrity and etiquette of the game become the building blocks of their characters as they grow through their adolescent years.

Under the guidance and direction of C.P.G.A. Head Professional Jeff Moore, the Flamborough Hills Golf and Country Club Junior Development Program has been created to introduce and promote the game of golf to boys and girls from the ages of 10 to 18.

The program will include the following:

Playing Privileges

All Junior Members will be entitles to play seven days per week, anytime after 11:00 a.m. If accompanies by an adult, Junior Members will be permitted to play before 11:00 a.m. Tee times can be booked on line or by calling the pro-shop at 905-627-1743.

Instruction

After the Victoria Day long weekend in May formal instruction will begin for all Junior Members every Thursday evening from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and will run until Thursday June 26th. All Junior Members are encouraged to attend and will be expected to sign up in advance at the pro-shop for the clinic and time they wish to attend.

Once school is finished, the instructional clinics will take place on Thursday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and will run until Thursday August 20th. Similarly, all Junior Members will be encouraged to attend and will be expected to sign up in advance with the pro-shop for the clinic and time they wish to attend.

After each clinic, all Junior Members will be encouraged to play with their fellow members. Those wishing to play will be put into groups. All clinics will include an emphasis on the basic fundamentals of golf, including both the short game and long game. The learning environment will be both fun and relaxing which will make skill acquisition easier.

Saturday Afternoons

Every Junior Member will be encouraged to play a friendly round of golf with their fellow members on Saturday afternoons at 1:00 p.m. Head Professional Jeff Moore will be present to organize the Junior Members into groups, and will play with a different group each Saturday. This is a great way to assess the Junior Golfer’s skill development under course conditions and to provide instructional assistance that cannot be otherwise be taught on the driving range (golf course management). If the golf course is not available, a clinic on the driving range and short game area will take place.

Once a month, a parent and child tournament will be held. The cost for each event will be $50.00, which will include golf, lunch and prizes. The dates for this years tournaments are as follows:
