Youth golfers are able to get introduced, engaged, and integrated into the game of golf in different ways at the club. Total Revenue Generated This is not generally a revenue-generating initiative, however in the long run these young golfers will hopefully become loyal members of the game and the club.
Details of Program
- Every Thursday morning, the golf course is reserved for junior golfers.
- All children of club members are welcome to play during this period of time.
- Junior golfers are designated into three different categories: 3-hole, 6h, and 9h.
- At the 6h and 9h levels, some competition and games may be incorporated, but the primary goal is socialization and to round out a golfer’s experience.
- Junior Golf Day fits into each golfer’s overall experience by providing:
- 3h: introduction to course play, rules, and format.
- 6h: structured and league play for those who are not otherwise involved.
- 9h: a more fun, social experience for tournament golfers.
Recommendations
- Determine the guidelines for parent involvement during play.
- Weekly competitions, scoring, and prizes.
- Maintain communication about current and upcoming opportunities.
- Junior Golf Day serves a valuable role in a youth golfer’s experience, but it’s important to identify and monitor where each golfer stands in that path.
