What is
Girls Golf?
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf, is a
junior golf program that gives girls the chance to learn to
play the game of golf and to make new friends, have fun, and
learn lifelong skills. This program is complemented with
mentoring. Mentors spend time with the girls during their
lessons, clinics, and on course play activities. They also
engage in activities that build confidence, character, self
discipline as well as sample competition in a positive and
supportive learning environment. This program is the only
national initiative of its kind just for girls. The
ultimate goal is to provide girls with the encouragement
needed to grow into happy, healthy, economically independent
women.
Space is limited so if
