The
Green Level Training Program was created to give youngsters
who have been introduced to golf but are not quite ready for
on-course play, a program that addressed their specifc needs.
After all most beginning golfers, especially children, do
not realize the importance of learning the basic rules, etiquette
and course management techniques needed to be successful on
the golf course.
 Before
playing on the course, and especially before playing in competitive
situations, youngsters should know how to display etiquette
on the golf course such as raking bunkers, repairing ball
marks and standing away while others are hitting shots. Basic
rules like not grounding your club in a hazard, how to proceed
when you lose a ball or what your options are when your ball
goes in a water hazard should also be learned prior to playing
in competitive situations. In addition, most youngsters also
need training on basic course management like avoiding hazards,
playing in different weather conditions and how to properly
read greens, And children will not learn these important aspects
of the game unless they learn them on the golf course.
The Green Level Training Program gives youngsters practical
experience on the golf course using a fun format that stresses
the importance of learning the rules & etiquette of the
game. The format is easy for any youth organization, recreation
agency or golf course to use. The program starts with a skill
evaluation of each of the youngsters and eventually takes
them through practical instruction starting on the TEE and
ending on the GREEN. |
