Recommendations

Need two coaches (we also got volunteers from the First Tee since it also doubled as an approved Birdie Level class). Make two to three groups depending on skill level. Have one coach take a group on the course and the other coach stay on the range. Switch experiences each week. Ask juniors to set specific goals at beginning of season to reference at the end.
