F.A.Q.
(Junior Programs)
Q: Can the parents (grandparents) stay and watch?
A: Yes, in fact we encourage it! The parent can remind the student what needs to be worked on during their practice sessions. This will provide a start into the parent-child relationship regarding the game. Maybe by being involved this will re-kindle or start an interest into golf for the parent. Check out our adult education classes.
Q: Will clubs be provided if needed?
A: Yes, clubs will be available. Also Pine Meadow has or can order a great selection of junior clubs! We have an expert club-fitting staff that will find the right clubs for each student.
Q: Which class should I sign my child up for?
A: If your child is a beginner the 100 level is where they should be. If they have had some instruction and have a concept of the fundamentals then they should be in the 200 level. If you are not sure, ask in the pro-shop and we can help you.
Q: What about rain-outs?
A: We will provide rain-out dates that will hopefully accommodate all students.
Q: What about ‘beyond the 200 level classes’?
A: At this point individual or semi-private lessons should be considered. Jeff Theobald would be happy to further instruct your junior individually or with a small group.
