Veenker Junior Program

Greg Dingel, the new PGA Professional, and the Veenker Memorial Golf Course staff are back to offer their outstanding Junior Golf Program. This summer you have the option to sign up for either Wednesday or Thursday mornings. Due to the success of the program and the large number of kids we have in it, we will not be able to allow make up days on alternate days. The demands on the staff with extra kids is just too large and safety becomes an issue. The program will meet for 8 weeks beginning on June 12/13 and running through Aug. 14/15. We will not have sessions on July 3rd and 4th due to the Holiday. Each clinic begins at 8:00 a.m. and runs through 12:00 noon with a short intermission available around 10:00 to allow the student’s time to purchase any snacks and cool off on those steamy days. Juniors 10 and under will play 4 to 6 holes each week and receive instruction for their last 2 hours. Juniors 11 and over will receive instruction to start the day, followed by the opportunity to play 6-9 holes. If arrangements have been made with parents, they can play the full 9 holes and will finish sometime between 12:00 and 12:30. They will be welcome to stay in clubhouse, shelter or at the clubhouse putting green area until they are picked up.

These sessions are designed for boys and girls ages 8 – 13 who are interested in learning and enjoying the game of golf. The price of the program will stay at $160.00 this year! This will include a year-end picnic (date TBA). NEW for 2013: your entry to The Iowa Games Golf Tournament is included with this program! During instruction all aspects of the game will be covered including: etiquette, fundamentals, putting, chipping, pitching, sand shots, full swing irons, full swing woods, course management, and rules of the game.
