A few of our favorite pictures from the 2019 Girls Golf season!
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf is a national program that uses golf instruction to empower young women with confidence and teach them valuable life skills. YWCA Bethlehem has been the local Girls Golf affiliate since 2003. We welcome girls ages 6 to 17 to join us for our 18th season in 2020.
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf of the Lehigh Valley offers junior golf clinics at Southmoore Golf Course in Bath and Bethlehem Golf Club. Clinics at both locations cover the fundamentals of putting, chipping, full swing, etiquette, rules, and more. In addition to learning golf skills the girls build confidence and friendships in our supportive and fun all-girls environment.
