LPGA-USGA Girls Golf

LPGA-USGA Girls Golf was formed specifically to create a network for girls to learn to play golf, build friendships and sample competition in a non-threatening environment. Its mission is to attract as many girls into the game of golf as possible and in doing so, hope that participants will develop a long-term interest in the game of golf. The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf is open to all girls ages 7-17.

To join the Girls Golf Club, girls must pay a $10 membership fee. This money is sent directly to the LPGA, and upon receipt, each girl will receive a membership kit. At the start of each Girls Golf Club season, eight instructional clinics will be held for both the new and experienced junior golfer. Topics include: putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, full swing, mental skills (focus & imagery), rules and etiquette. It is important that each girl participate in as many of the clinics as possible to develop sound golf fundamentals.

Putting Clinic: June 5
Chipping Clinic: June 12
Pitching & Bunker Clinic: June 19
Full Swing (Irons): June 26
Full Swing (Woods): July 10
Focus & Imagery for Golf: July 31
Short Game Review: August 7
Full Swing Review: August 28

Following the clinics, a series of on-course events are scheduled. Both the clinic series and on-course events are designed to build friendships and a lasting enthusiasm for golf. The fee for each instructional clinic is $15 and space must be reserved in advance. Events on the golf course must also be reserved in advance. The cost for on-course play varies depending on the event (e.g. individual vs. team event) and whether or not a meal is included.

Willow Brook Kids Golf

Willow Brook Kids Golf is a new junior golf initiative modeled after the successful LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program. Similar to Girls Golf, Willow Brook Kids Golf is designed to create a network for both boys and girls age 7-13 to learn to play golf and build friendships. To join, each child must complete an application and pay a $10 membership fee. Note, members of the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program do not need to pay an additional membership fee to participate in WB Golf activities. All members will receive a WB Kids Golf hat.

At the start of each Willow Brook Kids season, instructional clinics will be held on Saturday afternoons at 2:30 and 3:45. Topics include: putting, chipping, pitching, bunker paly, full swing, mental skills (focus & imagery), rules and etiquette. The clinic dates are the same for both LPGA-USGA Girls Golf and WB Kids Golf. This is intended to help parents with scheduling in the event a sister or brother would like to participate together. Following the clinics, several on-course events are scheduled to enhance actual golf play.
