Do you need experience to participate in this sport?

Recreation
No! All new and returning athletes are welcome to participate in this sport. As their knowledge and skill level of golf increases, coaches may advise the athlete to move up to the next level of programming.

Intermediate/ Advanced
Yes, this program is by coach selection only! All athletes that are in this program must complete a skill evaluation/assessment at the beginning of the season to ensure it is a good fit for them. Coaches work together to find a program that is best suited for the athlete to ensure they are benefiting from the instruction given. 

How does an athlete progress through the golf program?

As an athlete increases their knowledge and golf skills within the Beginner program, the coach will discuss moving up to the next division. Coaches of both divisions (Beginner and Intermediate) will assess the skill level of the athlete prior to any change in division. If the coaches feel as though the athlete would benefit from a higher division, they will recommend moving up. This change will typically take place the follow season, unless otherwise discussed amongst the athlete, caregiver/family member, and coaching team). Intermediate golf involves driving range, chipping & putting practice, and on-course play. Athletes entering into the Intermediate stream must have proper golf etiquette on the course, as well as maintain the pace of play. 

What happens if there is inclement weather?
