Junior Golf Programs

Dear Junior Golfers and Parent(s),

As we look forward to the 2009 golf season we have some exciting news to share with you. Because of your support and continued hospitality of Door Creek Golf Course we were able to achieve an extremely important award in 2007. The U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Kids Teachers award. This award is presented to the Top 50 junior golf programs in the Nation on an annual basis. We would like to thank all of you who were part of the 2007 junior program and we will continue to make every effort for perfection in the following years for all new students.

The key factors to insure success to our program are: fun, honesty and knowledge. We make it very clear that all students should be here to have fun. It is the most important thing we teach and practice each and every season.

Honesty plays a very important role in our program. Counting all of their strokes, playing by the rules, and calling penalties on themselves. We feel this leads to honesty and integrity not only in the game of golf but in life lessons as well.

We want all students to be knowledgable about the game of golf. We want them to go home and tell their parents or grandparents something about the game of golf or the rules that their elders are not aware of.

Mission Statement

We will provide a safe, fun, friendly learning environment for all of our students through teaching the importance of self improvement, confidence, respect, and group participation.

The 2008 junior program will be divided into to three groups: Introduction to Golf, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Junior Program Policies and Information

We believe it is in the best interest of the juniors to put less emphasis on tropies and awards and instead concentrate on self improvement, participation and most importantly fun.

All juniors will receive a tee gift and will be included in our end of the year pizza party, water balloon toss, putting contest, and banquet.

The junior programs will be conducted on our short game practice facility, practice range, par 30 executive course, and our front 9 championship course (depending upon the program your child is enrolled in).

If any weeks are cancelled due to weather conditions your child will receive a 9 hole raincheck. Rain out weeks will not be rescheduled. We will make a decision regarding play 30 minutes prior to all start times.

Please check your summer schedule for any conflicting events. There will be no rainchecks or refunds for any missed weeks.

If your child needs to play early or with someone for carpooling purposes please have them inform the lead instructor when they arrive.
